Mumbai Traffic Police — wrong challan for signal cutting

Address:

Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400001

I was driving around the s. P. Mukherji chowk (Museum) circle, when a havaldar stopped me. He said that i had jumped the signal, when actually i had not.

When i told him that we can check the cctv and i can show him that i have not cut the signal, he started arguing and said that he is only right. He insisted that i pay the fine, and then if i want to prove it, i have to go to worli police station to check the footage. Who has the time to go thru all that?

It seems to be a racket to fleece motorists.
