Where I live in Delhi, as soon as you exit the coclony's main road to the Outer Ring road, there is a police barricade and I have always seen motorcyclist being stopped there. I do not know why. You can not speed over there even you are Rossi -its so congested and narrow. I think its becos people on commuter bikes are easy prey. In your case - R15 means - rich guy, will give bribe easily. Its just pure business sense for the cop. (Remember they never joined the police to help people in the first place). He is in the business of extracting bribes. Simple!
I am glad that you took a stand. One should be aware of their rights and should sticck with the princinples, be confident and not budge under pressure. Its not matter of few bucks. It a matter of principle. Do not forget you paid for that cop's salary!
