Can police seize my bike without providing any reason?

My bike was seized without any apparent reason. My friend and I had parked it by the roadside and were talking when the police arrived. They took the bike to the police station and seized it without explaining the reason for the seizure.

Ask the police for the written reason and legal basis for the seizure and obtain a copy of the seizure memo/panchnama. Preserve the bike's registration, insurance, photographs, and any other relevant records. If the seizure was without lawful justification, you may approach the appropriate court for release of the vehicle and challenge the seizure through the available legal remedy.
