Forced Bribe for Passport Verification at Kolkata, West Bengal

Reported on April 26, 2018 from Kolkata , West Bengal  ι Report #181825

Please Help!

The Kolkata Police Stations are being reckless in verification of passport for renew as well as reissue cases in broad day light. They sent a Passport Verification Officer who behave rude and frighten or scare common public in the name of government that if we dont bribe or pay the verification fee (which is from Rs 500 to Rs 5000) our passport will be cancelled and even our voter right will be penalised. Even he said, 'I have change for a 2000 rupee note', what is happening!

Most recently, Lake Police Station Passport Verification Officer at Dhakuria, Kolkata around 11 am on March 1, 2018 has not only asked for bribe but also despite all documents were fine, they were reluctant to leave our house after verification unless bribed. Even the PVO officers did not show their identities on request. How could state and central government encourage such activities of Police. Is the government so shameless?

Please help with spreading this information. I still doubt how scotland yard police were once compared to kolkata police. Please spread this. These people should be penalised who express such corruptions and scare us everyday!
