This incident happened on copernicus Marg, Mandi House, New delhi. (Behind Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra Building)

I parked my vehicle inside the white line painted on road outside my office road, I used to park my car at the same location since 1.5 years and today on 05.05.2022 mcd's crane came and towed away my vehicle. This is the first time they towed my car from the location in 1.5 years.

At the location, more than 25 cars were parked and were remain untouched only my car were taken from the center of the parking abiding all parking rules and regulations.

I parked my car abiding all rules and regulations as mentioned below as given in PART II—Section 3—Sub-section (i), NEW DELHI, FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 2017/ASADHA 2, 1939.

When I asked the reason from concerned person to whom I have paid the towing fee, he didn't able to answer and refused to unlock the car before paying the illegal towing fine. I also asked him the details of person/crane who towed my car from the location, So that I can understand why my car have been towed from the location but the person were not available at the location.

I would request the authorities to look into the matter of illegal towing of vehicle from the different locations by the crane operators who doesn't even know the rules of parking of vehicles. This creates a lot of problem for many people like us. Please look and get the above issue resolved .

My money in paying the fine have gone, but would request, at least other people are saved from being cheated.
