As directed by the company where i work,i was asked to get myself Passport for future.
I applied as per the required procedure and submitted all the required documents and waited for Police Verification.
Out of blue moon i received a phone call one afternoon from the local police station communicating me that "We(Police) have been phone calling you since last so many days and no one is receiving the Landline Phone Call ;We calling you last time on your mobile phone : Either to comedown immediately at the Sector- XX Police Station today or else we will return back your file with No Response"
On receiving phone call in the middle of my work sechulde,i had to arrange to reach the said Police Station of Sector - XX from my Work Place situated in Ahmedabad(almost 30 KMs away).I phone called my Family Members regarding the receipt of Phone Call from Police Station ;my family members told that NO Phone call from any Police Official was ever received.
As it was MY Work(to get Verified by Police,to get Passport) i headed immediately towards the Police Station of Sector - XX along with 2 references(as instructed by Police on the phone call).
The Police Office on duty verified myself with the help of 2 references.He them took me to the Head of the Police Station(Probably DGP) ,Who in turn signed my File.On the way back with the Police Office(who escorted me to the Head of the Police Station) asked me for "Bakshish" ;i gave him Rs.50(thinking that no further delay or harassment is done to me ),the Police Officer then tweeted "Sir,you have got passport,now you will go abroad ,Will bring gifts and all for all your near and dearones,What about us...". I told him i have already given you Rs.50,to Which he replied "We are 3 persons,Rs.50 is not sufficient for even one " and asked me to shell out Rs.300,Which i gave him.
