The charge of Rs 300 per car.They also refused to give the receipt.They cant cheat citizens because its public property.

DCP Southwest and Delhi traffic police should send decoys - if they are correct, they should move for the cancellation of their license by South Delhi Municipal Corporation."To this, the Traffic Police asked the former senior police official to contact the Delhi Police control room at 112 or "concerned police station in this regard".

The "inappropriate reply" went viral on social media after which they deleted it.After over three hours, the Traffic Police again replied to Choudharys complaint, but this time, were more courteous than before."Thanks, your complaint is being forwarded to senior officers," the second response read.
