Delhi man pays Rs 23,000 challan, half the price of his vehicle

A man from Gurugram, Dinesh Madan, was charged with Rs. 23,000 as challan by Gurugram Traffic Police.

He said, "I wasn't wearing helmet and didn't have Registration Certificate (RC). Traffic Police asked me to give him my Scooty's keys but I denied. Immediately he printed a challan of Rs. 23,000 and seized my vehicle. The value of my Scooty is around Rs. 15,000. I even got a copy of RC on Whatsapp from home but by then he had printed challan.

"The amount could have been less if he would have waited for a while. I want that fine should be relaxed. From now on, I will always carry my documents."
