Pune Traffic Police — harassment in the name of traffic law

Address:411028

Dated - 16th oct, 2019.

This happened today morning in between 11 to 11.30am near hadapsar main bus depot signal, below the flyover on sholapur highway. One traffic cop stopped me for jumping signal.in reality there was a bus taking turn to go in the bus stop and i have to divert my two wheeler so i do not hit the bus. The traffic cop thought i have jumped signal and stopped me. He misbehaved and talked rudely to me. He was also having a stick in hand and threatened to hit me. On top of that he said your license will get cancelled and he will file an fir for this offense. As i am aware of the new mv and fine amount, i said he can issue a challan. He was not having any challan book and above all refused to issue challan. Plus there were three to four guys sitting near him who he said are witness and when he file fir will give witness of this incident.

I think this was a "racket of extortion" as i try to reason with him to issue the challan and take official fine but he insisted on filing fir. He also forcibly kept my licence. Later those same guys that he called witnesses told me to give him rs 200/-. He took bribe and i was also helpless as being a common man i cannot go through legal harassment.

Very rude behaviors and bullying. He was very strongly built and has covered his face with a hanky. As i know mv act to a certain extent and take necessary precautions like helmet, shoes, gloves, rear view mirrors, seat belt, stop line at signals and i know very well that no fir can be filed for jumping red light.

Please look into this matter as i have given you time of this incident. There was no name plate on his uniform so i could not take his name. I think it is a complete racket. Hadapsar is a area where practical no traffic rules are followed and there a chaotic situation exist, no helmets, wrong lane, triple/four seat on 2 wheelers and guys like me who follow rules and take safety measures has to go though such humiliation.

Please do something about this. I am mainly concerned about humiliation and harassment and not about the 200/- bribe.

Very sad and pathetic behavior by a traffic cop who are suppose to enforce law and not trouble vehicle users.
