Chennai - Traffic Police

Hi,

On the Friday last around 6:30 PM (during the peak period) my driver was crossing the Teynampet Signal on the mount road, suddenly the signal came red when in the middle of the signal and the traffic police asked him to pay fine for Rs. 1050/- and later said reducing to Rs. 400/-.

When I argued with the police, they aske me to talk to the inspector who is so rude and said, it was 1050 and now given concession ..so pay 400 and take the vehicle. In the meanwhile, he instructed the constables to lock the vehicle and said they will come and take tomorrow. This is so rude and they dont even feel for the public. When I said I will pay, he insisted that I have to pay Rs. 400. He prepared a receipt for the same quoting sections 183 (1) in the receipt. i asked him what is the section you are mentioning in the receipt, he said it for drivining with no control. This is rediculous to charge public like this for signal jumping under false sections, wher as for the offence is only Rs 50.

What for they are charging this hefty fines? To show to theier superiors? They have collected Rs. 4 Crores fine in the month of November etc...

Also, they tried to attack my driver asking him to handover the car keys and he refused and a police man was beating him as well.

This is totally shame on the entire traffic police.

How can I take this forward?

regards

Harish
