Forced to pay bribe at Vimantal Police Station
- Police
- Police Verification for Passport
- Paid INR 1,000
I visited the Vimantal Police Station for what should have been a simple Passport verification. Instead, I was told that the reference detail in the form was incorrect, and if he (the Officer) did not clear this, then it would go back to passport office where I would have to pay 5000 fine and it could take 6 months for the re-verification. When I told him that I didn't want to repeat the process, and asked what was the solution - he wrote 5000 on a piece of paper on his table and passed the same to me. When I said no, he started writing his report on the form and circling areas in the form and I was forced to stop him and pay a 1000 rupees.
