[Resolved]  Delhi Traffic Police — Illegitimate Challan

I had parked my car today at a place near Axis bank, B 6 , Lajpat Nagar II. The place where the car was park was neither a main road nor a congested lane nor in any way which can be considered any hindrance to any one what so ever. The car was parked on a side where large number of cars are always parked along the kuchcha broad lane under the under-construction metro line between Lajpat Nagar & Defence Colony. There were many cars parked there as ever, as I regularly visit the bank and park my car there. There is no other parking area nearby. I am shocked because on the main road in front of the bank there are cars parked on both sides but the traffic police find nothing wrong in that even if they obstruct the flow of normal traffic. Only reason I can possibly imagine that why my car, out of so many cars, was picked up is that the crane chaps found it easy to tow.
Not only I had to dish out Rs 300.00 for challan despite no fault of mine, but lot of time and harassment I had to undergo despite my health not permitting.
I am a senior citizen with a artificial hip joint in one leg and a plate in the other leg.
I had no clue initially as to what happened to my car as no one was able to tell me that the car was picked up by a crane. It was only when I walked up to Lajpat Nagar police station that they I had parked my car today at a place near Axis bank, B 6 , Lajpat Nagar II.

A shocking experience. I wish that Delhi Police mend their ways and not resort to such act of harassment to the citizens. This kind of act on their part only shows their keenness to fill the pockets of Gov't of Delhi & their own regimental funds and pleasing their seniors in achieving their targets of collecting money which should logically be termed as illegal.
I wish I had a facility to photograph the area where I had parked my car. I did give a suggestion to the Traffic Inspector,( who visited road side Challan vend of Delhi traffic police at Shriniwaspuri, possibly to find out how much funds had been collected till then) that each crane team should be given a camera and they should take a snap of the parked vehicle before picking up the same and also inform nearby shop, home or vendor that they have picked the vehicle.
