[Resolved]  Rto On - Duty Officer — Forcefully taking bribe

Address: Mumbai Suburban, Maharashtra

Hi
This was an unusual morning for me when I went on my bike to nearest local store near Bhandup Station to buy something. My helmet side tag got broken and since my home is very near from Bhandup Station I decided to break the law by not wearing a helmet. To my luck , Mr. Jitendra Kamble, an RTO constable ( excuse me if i am not putting up his designation correct) with regd no 11343 was on duty and he caught me. He was accompanied by 2 more on duty officers.

I was asked a pay a fine of Rs 2500/- for not wearing a helmet!! This made me suspicious and therefore I said Ok, please give me the receipt first. My suspicion was correct and Mr. Jitendra demanded to empty my wallet in front of him. All of them came around me, took my license and sat on bike and said, unless I do that, they will not let me go.

I had to catch a train from Dadar and was in hurry. I tried protesting a lot but with no luck. Since bhandup Stn junction on LBS marg is a very busy road, it was a heavy vehicular traffic and no one could listen to what I was trying to protest and no one came for my help. Unfortunately I had to pay up Rs. 300/- for a law which demands Rs. 100/- only as fine. More so all this money which I had to pay up went into the pockets of these CORRUPT policemen.

SHAME ON RTO Mumbai Top Management which is not able to protect the interests of Mumbai Citizens!!!

Not sure if this forum would help taking action against them, but wanted to highlight this issue to everyone


Thanks
