This is a complaint against Traffic sub inspector Mr. Thammanna T. Bajantri.
I am the strict follower of Traffic signal since last 3 years.
I was going home after some shopping from Kormangala area on bike with my pregnant wife.
I stay at HSR layout. I tried a new route from Kormangala to HSR layout via Sony world on inner ring road. I reached at Sony world signal. As I was going 1st time by that road I was not aware that there is no right from that signal. I also missed the No right indication board. I stopped at the signal for almost 5 minuets. When straight and left signal turned ON, I was waiting for left signal also to be turn ON.
Suddenly a car came from behind and took right. By seeing this I felt that there is some problem in right signal. I also then took right after that car passed.
Mr Thammanna with his Junior policemen was standing there and they stopped that car as well as me.
He asked me arrogantly to get down. I got down. I tried to explain politely what exactly happened. He was not at all in mood to hear that. He asked my Driving license and I given that. After seeing my Maharastra DL and knowing that I am from Maharastra, his talk became more arrogant. He passed the statement “Tum sale Maharastra wale zak marne aate ho”. After hearing this I shouted back on him without caring his post. By seeing this 1 Junior came and told me that he didnt mean that. he meant, Since your DL is from Maharastra and if we want to contact you then where we will contact.
Tum inspector se eise bat karta, he replied. Chalo fine bharo, Dangerous driving 300 Faulty number plate - 100, No insurance -300, Signal break 200. 1000 Rs fine bharo Nahi to Vehicle seize karo (ordered to Juniors). Tumhe Gadi pe baithke GAND CHALI karta hai.
Mind your toung, officer, I shouted back. You are not supposed to talk like this. She is my wife, she is pregnant. Let us go. After seeing my rage, junior came in between our fight and bargained with me at fine Rs 300.
Funny thing: I had only ony 260 Rs cash and some Sodexo coupens. I had to give 40 Rs sodexo on top of this.
I saw at my wife and my next day at office, i agreed on 300. But while giving i asked few question which are still unanswered.
1. What is the charge for breaking signal?
2. What is dangourous drive. Do you think, with pregnent wife and from 0 speed in 30 meter distance I will do dangerous driving.
3.What is GAND CHALI.
4. What is my fault if I am from Maharastra.
Sir, we dont need terrist from Pak since we already have people like this who are diving states.
Well I can not say whetehr officer was boosed but by his behavor and covering fire from Junior it looks like he was.
Request you to take strict action agaist him.
I need justice.
Regards,
Anand
