Kolkata Traffic Police — denied acceptance of digilocker documents and seizure list impounded

Address:Kolkata, West Bengal, 700082

Myself bibaswan bhowmik, a citizen of india under kolkata jurisdiction. On 26/06/2019 (Wednesday) i was riding my scooty (Wb 20az 0613) with proper dress and riding accessories (Wearing helmet, shoes, full trousers - which can be checked on the cctv camera footage) towards my home in front of kalighat police station. I was stopped there asking for documents checking. The respective officer present there asked me to show my two wheeler insurance policy, pollution certificate and driving license.
I showed him the online certificate of my vehicle insurance (Print out copy), pollution under control certificate (Original copy) and my driving licence (Digilocker approved). The officer refused to accept the digilocker licence and impounded a case on me. I even showed him centres letter to states on digilocker where it is clearly stated that documents issued / pushed by various departments / organisations in digilocker system shall be deemed to be at par with original physical documents, and there after written that digilocker is to promote the vision of paperless governance, thus enabling any citizen to produce requisite documents any time anywhere in legally acceptable electronic form. And later on letter of ministry of road transport and highways (Subject: acceptance of driving licence, registration certificate or other documents presented through digilocker or mparivahan platform - reg), where at point number 5 it is clearly stated that it is requested to consider the documents available in the 'electronic form' in the digilocker platform or the mparivahan mobile app as valid under morot vehicles act 1988 and be treated at par with the certificates issued by the transport authorities.
But still then the respective officer refused to accept the digilocker documents and impounded a case on me, seized my vehicle smart card and handed over to me a seizure list.
Sir, it is my humble request to you to take necessary steps in solving my problem.

Note: respective documents mentioned above would be presented on demand.
