Today, while traveling from Kandivali to Goregaon, the traffic police named "Sagar Ramesh Medhe" stopped me over as I came out of the no-entry.
At first he asked for 1200 Rupees from me. then I asked please enlighten me about section/provision under which this penalty falls, to which he had no answer, so he gave me a receipt of other person and said this is how it will look.
The receipt had no section/provision, making reference to any act. On my further argument, Sagar Ramesh Medhe threatned me, that I will invoke dangerous driving, unclean car and many other sections and he put my license in his pocket.
So, I was "forced" to pay a fine of 1400 instead of mere 400 (wrong way+damaged number plate), just because out of his anguish that how could I question him on law - he invoked dangerous driving.
The location is 500 meters from Nesco compound, Goregaon East and is under camera surveillance. And, was not even at a speed beyond 25 kpmh. Further, my car signal to the left was blinking and the road was empty. So, how on earth this could be dangerous driving.
I beg for an apology from such crooked officers and who misuse the power of authority.

Updated by Dhaval Ranpura Attached are documents showing my continuous follow-up from 14-Mar-2017 to 17-May-2017 seeking action against arrogant traffic police Mr. Sagar Ramesh Medhe.
DCP Sub Tr and ACP North Tr intervened in the matter, and finally I got an email on 13-Apr-2017 and 17-May-2018 from Dindoshi Traffic Office with respecrive letters were attached, but the respectove word files in email seemed corrupt. Thereafter on 8-Apr-2017 and 5-Jun-2018 respectively, I sent an email seeking the attachment to be in readable form (English or Marathi), but to no revert till date.
All I need is for traffic police to see the camera video of the site on 12-Mar-2017 between 10.15 to 10.40 am and see for themselves whether this is dangerous driving.
Need action against arrogant and crooked officer like Mr. Sagar Ramesh Medhe.
