Here is another in the series on Bangalore Traffic Police. I dont know if you like these incidents, but they really tell us that the traffic police is good at heart. Here is what happened ...
It was a Sunday night, about 2115 hours. We, me and my friend, were returning from the finale of Bengaluru Habba, the cultural festival. Ajmeri brothers had regaled the audience with quality Quawwali.
Ok, so coming to the traffic police, we were just half a kilometer on way back when my friend said that we may be on a One-Way. Now, I had taken the same way the night before, nothing had happened. What I forgot was that last night it was well past 2330 hours. The moment she finished stating her apprehension, a cop with a hat came into sight. Yes, we were on the wrong side of the one-way.
He first tried to intimidate us, told that he would take the bike to police station and all. We had to plead to et us go, that we were late. He pretended to talk on his wireless, then asked for money. I took my walet out. To his bad luck I was carrying only Rs90 in cash. With all good heart, I gave all the money to him. He reciprocated the gesture, returned Rs20. He did consider the fact that I had a long way to travel and I may need some cash.
So this is what I keep telling all the time, the traffic police in Bangalore are very friendly.
