Driving without a number plate and helmet is a traffic violation, but traffic police cannot legally demand a bribe. You should ask for an official challan instead of making any illegal payment. If a bribe was demanded, you can file a complaint before the Anti-Corruption Bureau, local senior police officers, or traffic department helpline. Keep any recording, message, or proof safely if available. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
