Paid BRIBE of Rs 400 for Passport by Bhayandar west police station

Reported on April 17, 2014 from Thane , Maharashtra  ι Report #40562

I had to pay a bribe of Rs. 400 for police verification for renewal of passport. Earlier too I had to pay Mira road police station (near kanakia area) when I had originally made it. That time the amount was Rs. 200.
When asked for what do we have to pay, they just blankly stared and once showed some fake receipt stating here it is written.
Although I paid in full to the passport officials and police are not supposed to charge anything. If they requestfully ask for bakshis like post-mans or anyone else it is not a problem but forcefully taking "rishvat" is unacceptable. Please report this; looking for a cleaner system!!!
