Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a 25 year old man writing this to you with a very low confidence. The confidence that was disgracefully broken for showing honesty to a traffic police official. After today's incidence, I no longer have faith in people who have been designated to work for my well being.
I am disheartened by the fact that I was fined for following the instructions of a traffic police officer not realizing that I am falling in a trap. While I was standing behind the zebra crossing at a manually controlled shivaji chowk crossing at Hinjewadi Pune, the officer standing next to me signalled me to go. As I went ahead, the one at the other end asked me to stop and go back. I simply followed. But the one standing next to me said that I was driving against police signal. He took my license. Later when I explained that I had moved ahead only because the officer asked me to, he said he is fining me for having fancy number plate. But the number plate actually had just a small label of the manufacturer (Yamaha). This comes from the company (Yamaha) itself. If I would have ever needed a fancy number plate, why would I have Yamaha written on it. I could have had my name, or some God's mantra etc etc..
While all yamaha bike riders were having the same number plate, I was paying the price. I was given a ticket having offence MVA 119/177. The officer told me that this maps to fancy number plate. Later I came to know its for voilating traffic signal (While they had already accepted that I did not break any signal rules and only followed their instructions).
Also when I tried to explain him, he simply said "You want to go soon or you want to be late for office."
I do not if any action will be taken in this regard or not. But I surely understand that traffic cops are not working for our benefit but for filling their pockets. Was this information helpful? | 
I am 31 years old, IT profestional. I had very worst experience with your one of the lady name "R D Bugadte". She fined me saying you are having fancy number plate. I have number writeen with RTO norms and my Number plate has words wrien on it. I don't have concern with fine but when i asked the next Activa standing next which has writen "Phashankar Auto" on number plate which belongs to her since when i asked about the owner she refused to tell.
Please let us know the words or names which are allowed and if not then please ask her to pay fine and remove from her number plate. I think they are given training and asked follow first and then ask the people. If they are not following which is big issue.
I don't know there will be any strict action taken against her or not. If you take action then other officers will think they don't have right but given previllage to maintain the trafic.
Thanks
