The minute-long video, shot with a mobile phone, has garnered more than 80,000 views in about seven hours after it was loaded on a social networking site.
In the video, the police official purportedly hints the driver to pay a bribe to avoid getting fined for wearing a 'Pheran' (traditional Kashmiri cloak worn during winter) while driving.
As per th video, the driver questions the officer for detaining his vehicle and claims to have all the documents in order.
"We have friendship with you (drivers). Why should we fine you?" the officer says as the driver pulls out a currency note and hands it to him.
The traffic police official then lets the driver go without imposing any fine.
State Transport Minister Sunil Kumar Sharma and Inspector General of Police (Traffic) Jagjit Kumar did not respond to calls and messages, when contacted to comment on the issue.
