“When one of the men in purple uniforms came, he asked where I was going, and I told him. He then sent a lady among them to lead me to the place. The lady entered my vehicle and we got to the premises she told me to park. I had not seen any VIO official but she just told me to enter the office.“I entered the office and I told someone there that I came for my vehicle inspection. The person told me I was behaving as if I didn’t know my offence.

“I later realised that the VIO office is on that same premises. The people claimed they were task force officials. I showed them my bank account to prove that I didn’t have up to the amount they asked for. One of them asked me to call my husband and other people to send me money.
