I don't know how it works in India, but here in my part of the US, you can go to court to fight a ticket. There you can explain why you think you are not responsible and if the judge is persuaded, the ticket could be vacated. It's never a good idea to argue with the cops. In a situation like that, they have the power and it's best to be polite and take the ticket. However, make sure you take notes right away on the details of the situation and the circumstances so that later when you want to fight the ticket, you will have convincing arguments to present in court. It is rumored that cops are given quotas of tickets to hand out in order to make money for the town or state, this may be true. But if you keep your cool, you're more likely to beat the ticket than if you get angry
