On 20th /12/2020, @ 12 noon at the Mahape, signal < navi mumbai .I was stopped by the RTO officer. The offence was traffic signal jumping.I apologised to the rto and gave my license . I was surprised when the rto officer demanded RS 1200. As per him Rs 200 for signal jumping and 1000 for dangerous driving. I requested the officer not to be unreasonable and charge me for the signal jumping offense. However he refused and demanded a settlement at 600 RS . I refused and i told the rto officer that i will pay as per my offense which was signal jumping. The rto officer took and offence and confiscated my license. He asked me to collect my license from the Mahape rto office . I requested him to give me a acknowledgment of the license confiscated - he refused to give me any acknowlegement for the license that was confiscated . This i found very suspicious. I asked him to give me his name and no to which he showed his tag plate and said " you may complaint to any one " i will teach you a lesson. .I again requested the officer that i respect the men in uniform for the service that they are giving to the city of mumbai, and they may take the charge as per my offense on my credit card.HOwever he refused and asked me to go to the Mahape, RTO office, Navi Mumbai and collect the same. He also told me that there is a past offense that remained unpaid on my car regisration no . I confirmed to him that the old charge may also be collected from me, however he did not relent and took away my driving license . As a law abiding citizen of mumbai, i just request to know if the officer followed the rules as per the motor vehicle act. If he has followed the rule, i have not issues and i dont want to press any charges, however i feel the way the entire matter was handled i have some suspicion. request your help urgently so that hapless citizens are not troubled like this.
I request your urgent intervention as this is a serious matter and if small and medium industries, manufacturing essential pharmaceuticals goods are harrassed like this, am not sure what must be happening to common people
I will be available to meet up with you any time Was this information helpful? |
