So what should you do if you find your parked vehicle missing - 


  • Check with locality people who are nearby to parked spot . 90% - they may have seen traffic police towed your vehicle in your absence

  • Call up traffic control room number -  080 2294 3131 . Inform about your exact location i.e Area and some popular landmark. They will have info on officers on job in respective areas and share contact number of officer
  • Speak to officer immediately ,  share your vehicle model , registration number and confirm if they have really towed the vehicle and where you can collect them
  • If they are nearby you are lucky , else you have to end up meeting them at Area police station .  Ensure you have at-least the towing charge + transport fare in your wallet to reach the spot.  If you are with a family , arrange a alternate transport for them as you may need to visit police station and may take time to settle. Be patient , if officers are at lunch it may take some more time to address your case. 
  • One you meet officer , they shall guide on reason why they had to tow the vehicle , inform about charge payable.  Always Note - a fine is intended to correct a mistake & create awareness , if you feel its a mistake from you end in parking promptly pay the fine and get a bill. Don't try to bribe . If you are convinced its not your mistake , then you may take up to higher officials at police station with proof.
