At that moment a police team led by DSP Sabita Das reached the area and brought us to Sadar police station for quizzing. Police released us the next day around 4 pm, but the lady DSP seized my driving licence and car registration documents. When I requested them to return my documents, an employee of the police station named Jyoti Khound told me that, I will get it if pay Rs 40,000. The employee also told that, if I do not pay the demanded money, then my driving licence will be cancelled,” the youth said in his complaint.
