Police Verification standard bribe fee 500 plus 250 extra bribe fee

Reported on May 29, 2013 from Pune , Maharashtra  ι Report #34596

When I went for police verification for my passport renewal (non-tatkal/normal application), I had the following documents to prove that I have been staying in the same address from past 4 years.
1. Two neighbor reference letters
2. Aadhar Card (issue date is beyond 1 year and 6 months)
3. BSNL land phone bills (current month, previous year for same month and current year minus 2 for same month)

What I did not have:
Rent agreement as the owner of the house is a friend of mine

But the policeman asked me only for previous two years rental agreement and refused to accept my other documents as proof of address.
But he gave me subtle hints that I should understand what he thinks can resolve the situation and get the process move forward.In his words "Aap samajh jaao mera baat mein samjhunga appka baat"
