Ghaziabad Traffic Police — Scam by traffic cops in Avantika Extension GZB

Dear Sir/ Ma'am

Refer to the above subject, I would like to bring to your notice the incident happened with me. I was travelling officially with my client from Gujarat (Amul) to Kashipur, Uttarakhand on 3rd August, 2022 morning from Faridabad. By the time I reached the intersection area of Meerut Expressway and Moradabad Highway (maybe known as Avantika Extension) I have been stopped by two traffic cops (one a little elderly and the other one a young chap), for no valid reasons, both had their faces covered by masks (which may be because of the Covid protections) and wearing half jackets in such a manner so that their names can't be read. Now they started arguing and asked me to pay a fine of Rs 2500 because of the following reason as per the enclosed snaps. I didn't want to go into more arguments and I paid the amount to them. They have punched it in a machine where the receipt of the same got printed and I asked for a copy of the same(as I was travelling official). They not only denied to give me the copy even did not allow me to take a snap of the same. This is when I told them it will not be possible as I am travelling official and they have returned me my money. To my surprise, the same day evening I received an e-challan copy amounting to Rs 10500 of not possessing a PUC bearing a challan number UP[protected].

I would like to request you to please look into matter seriously and waive off my Challan.

Your earliest response on the subject will be highly solicited.

Thanks

Arindam Banerjee
