A police inspector Nagaraj walked into my office and asked for Rs. 5000/- for 100kg rice for his relative marriage - the family is poor according to him. I brought down the amount to Rs. 1000/- and paid him. Not sure about his antecedents but he was demanding.
Mr. Bhalekar, powai police station, a police man did my police verification for passport without asking for money. Kudos Bhalekar.
He called me in December on my phone to come for verification. I was travelling that time, hence told him that i would meet him in first week of January.
When i went there with my wife (since both of us had applied for renewal of passport) he handled us with professional care. He verified details without wasting any time.
At the end he thanked us for coming for verification. (We were sweetly surprised at the soberness).
He did not hint for any thing, did not take anything...
I saw your article in Today's Mumbai mirror so I thought to share one of my very fresh today's experience with Mumbai central GRP personnel
I was going for my workplace from vasai to lower parel so I normally take a slow train from Mumbai central. today I was running out of time so I decided to cross the railway track and jump to platform no1 and I did that as soon as I reached platform no 1 a middle aged man came to me and said "Bahut jaldi hai cross karne ki " before I could I ask him anything he took me to the office where many others were also present.
then I got to know and I started explaining my part and said sir I have to open my store at 10:30 am but nobody listen to me and one of the constable named Mr. sharma sitting there started murmuring " aaj to tumne bahut badi galti kar di itni badi galti to kasab ne bhi nahi ki hogo balki tumne to kasab se bhi badi galti kardi aaj to tum gaye.
inspite of many request they did not heard anything and took us to Bombay central's police room which is attached to platform.and there came the other officer to whom we requested and said for some chai pani but he said nahi chai pani nahi but I can do one "aaj subah hi mene ek admi pe case banaya hai jisse mene 1000/- security deposit liya hai, isme me ek kaam kr skta hu ekhi case me me do admiyo pe bana dunga tum dono 500-500 dedena security deposit per case me ek hi admi pe banaunga jispe case banega vo kal 12:00 pm c 1:00pm k bichme aake court me millega jisme c 500-600 rs fine lagega of 400/- rs tumhe wapas mil jayenge or agar kal nahi aana chaho to koi baat nahi ye 1000/- rs court me jama ho jayenge. we said ok
then he asked me for ID proof and started writing my name on a piece of paper which was actually not any government paper infact it was a Xerox paper of any of the government paper and noted down my name,add,contact no etc and took money from us when I asked for the receipt or the Xerox copy of the form he said it is not required tum kal aajao idhar hi me yahio rahunga. since I was getting very late so I did not argue with him and left from there.
See I am not worried about the money but worried that my detail should not be used to frame me in any false cases.
If you are planning to print this news on your paper then I can give you detail information on it.
I am an NRI and visit visit India once in an year. Its shame to call the people with white dress in the arrivals as Customs officers.
They wait for an opportunity to steal/blackmail passengers in order to grab money for nothing.
Dont they care about the CCTV cams? Their superiors are not reponsible for this cheating?
Kindly do something and save Indias respect and punish this VULCHERS. thanks in advance
Is there a fine for having an expired pollution certificate?
If so, how much is the fine we have to pay?
Can an ordinary police man (the one with a brown uniform) demand to see our car's pollution certificate?
Can he fine us for that or is it only the traffic police that can do that?

The police officer, Mr Magre of Govandi police station, who visited my house to verify my passport application details was very straightforward.
He requested us to come to the police station at 11.oo am the next day, since the register had to be signed.
When we went there at 11.00 am he was waiting for us.
He was very polite, courteous and professional. He completed the formalities in quick time and we thanked him for his help.
He said that the verification would be sent the next day to the CID office and it was done so.
He was more professional than well trained hospitality officers in 5 star hotels !!
A very pleasing experience for myself and my wife.
I had applied for my child passport in ghaziabad PSK and I already received the passport in 15 days. The post man demanded Rs 500 to deliver the passport. I simply refused to pay him and asked him if you will not deliver the passport then better face the complaint which I am going to file against you. The next day he delivered the passport without uttering a word.
Then Police came for verification at home, taken all documents and signature and asked me to visit the police station. At police station sub inspector Veer Singh demanded me verification fees Rs 500 and it is mandatory. I questioned him please show me the rules where it is written that I have to pay for police verification. Then he started making me believe that this fees goes to higher officials for easy process of application. I said I am in no hurry and you please proceed with your pace. But I will not pay a single penny to you. If you show me the rules then I will definitely pay and will ask for receipt also. He looked angrily at me and then said people give money because they are happy that they received the passport. So I said well I am not happy with the system and will not pay you.
He said ok and I came back to home.
I had purchased a running restaurant in 33rd cross jaynagar, bangalore in feb 2011(Panda Restaurant) for Rs 20,00,000/-. In next 2 months I spent another Rs 15 lacs for renovation. When I went to obtain corporation licence for the restaurant, the Medical Officer there Dr Shiva Swamy (Mobile No 9480684211), who limps while walking demanded and took Rs 1 lac from me and additional Rs 5000/- for some other service. Having invested about Rs 35 lakhs I had no other option. Anyway I suffered heavy losses in the hotel business and had to close it down. Bad results and bad experience when you leave your principles. A lesson for every one.
