This was for Police verification for my wife's passport.

Policeman called came in 5 minutes. Did the verification from from neighbor and then came to my flat for verification.

My wife was alone. She provided all the documents he asked for. Policeman entered the details in Palm top. Towards the end he indicated that as we are verifying so fast you need to pay something.

Wife: is it mandatory?
Police: yes.
Wife: hesitantly came with Rs200.
Police: we normally take minimum 500.
Wife : feeling embarrassed and not sure what to do and fear. Falls for paying 500.


Feeling helpless and guilty. But she was forced. Helpless in our own country.

Our police cannot protect us.
