Dear Sir,
This is a complaint regarding unnecessary & egoist harrassment by one of the official of chandigarh traffic police posted at Housing board chowk near panchkula (Person belong to sikh community). Dear Sir, today 26.06.10 at about 07:15 PM, i was driving from my office at sec-8 chd to my residence at panchkula, when at housing board near panchkula i was at spped of 50km/hr and crossed the signal before it converted to yellow signal. In the maenwhile a sikh (Sikh Traffic havaldar) came in front of my car and stoped me. He ingenuinely and rudely told me that have crosse the red light. I very politely replied that gentleman i am aware of all the traffic rules and i know that when i crossed the line it was green and when i just reached the line @ 50km/hr and light is green the it is not advsed to have a sidden brake as it can be unsafe both for me as well as the vehicle ahead as well as in front of my vehicle because @ 50km/hr, there is some braking distance which is safe and it was just green, then why should i stop. That gentleman very rudely replied that "i know what is right or wrong, i will challan and i don;t care about any statement given by you, i am a policeman and i can do whatever i want to do, you can't do anything". I again requested him and told him that i am not a new driver and i know when to cross the road and i always drive as per traffic rules and this time also i am driving as per rules and regulations of the traffic, but that sikh havaldar was not listening and was becoming very egoist. The policeman with him also tried to explain something to him, but he straightway told him that be in your limits, i am your senior and whatever i am saying is always right, that gentleman very shamefully went aside, he was also not happy with the response of his senior. I kept on requesting him that i have done no wrong, but he kept on replying me that i'll do as per by wish and also using some abusive language that i can not write in this mail. That havaldar being an elder person, i at the end stop telling anything and he give me a chalan note and kept my licence with him and told me very harshly that now go to sec-29 and get the licence from there. I took the challan and went to home. Dear Sir, it is very shameful for the reputation of the such as reputed chandigarh traffic police that such persons like that sikh traffic havaldar is working as per his own ego and his own wish. I have no issues about going to sec-29 and get my licence by paying the fine, but my only request is that such officials should be questioned by the higjer officials of the police about not to harras the common people and not to do misuse of their uniform. Hope some srtict actions will be taken against that policeman so that in future he should not ingenuinely harras the common people and should not misuse his powers.
Yours obediently,
Amit Chowdhary
