I wasnβt aware about the left/right side parking rule in pimple saudagar, Pune. Yesterday, i made the mistake and parked my safari conveniently at a safe place, making sure I am not disturbing anyone.
Few moments later I got the call from pick up crew in stern voice that they are towing my vehicle. I rushed to spot and found that they have locked the pick up van with my car and waiting for me. I was with my family (wife and little one) and in hurry.
Officer started cutting challan, I asked how much, he said 2000. Then looking at my sad face, he said idhar side mein 1000 de do aur niklo yhan se.
Letβs be honest, we all are corrupt when it comes to pay challans. I was happy with the offer, didnβt negotiate much and paid him 1000 cash, he unlocked my car and i drove to safe place.
3 hours later I got a msg of e challan of Rs.1500 π₯²
Learnings
1. No parking challan is of 1500 not 2000
2. Avoid bribe, pay challan
