At that moment a police team led by DSP Sabita Das reached at the area and quizzing and brought us Sadar police station. Police had released us next day at 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.
