Taking to the comment section, people shared their views. “I too once said something similar to the police, then the traffic police issued a challan and also beat me up,” a user said. “I had also seen these two standing near Mukund Pur flyover and they would stand in such a way that if a vehicle stops suddenly, then the vehicles behind are sure to have an accident. I have also seen them extorting money,” read another comment.

“They take a lot of time to generate the bill from the machine so that they can earn money. This is a corrupt practice. Till then they settle the matter. They always stand near Mukundpur flyover or Majlis Park metro station. Extortion gang” added a third person. “Police officials must take cognizance and share what they did in this case,” added another.
