Passport verification fees.....

When i had been for verification of address in police station, The official asked for fees for verification. When i said what fees, I have already paid fees and showed him the receipt....Then he said....Give something according to your wish....Then i replied that sir, i am a student....not earning anything and dont have anything now, he said ok and let me go, Then there was no problem and got my passport within a month.
I think this passport verification should becovered with a sting operation by some news channel as this practice is followed everywhere in India..!!
