When a motorcyclist recorded the officers and questioned them about the black tape, one of the officers deflected by asking the motorcyclist about his helmet. The incident took place under the flyover near Sarja Bar in Kalamna, and the officers involved are said to be from the Kamptee Traffic Police Department.

There was no traffic congestion where the officers were stationed, suggesting they were there for unauthorized extortion, issuing fines to motorists. Despite this, senior city police officials have not taken any apparent action, emboldening such misconduct.
