Mumbai Traffic Police — Wrongfully Invoking Section 184 by threatening

Address:	Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400067
Website:	Mumbai Traffic Police

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.
