Bribe for police verification for passport

Reported on May 11, 2011 from Gandhinagar , Gujarat  ι Report #8662

I was a student of DA-IICT, Gandhinagar and had applied for passport with some of my friends. As a part of verification process, we had to go to the police station to identify ourselves and get a go from police for the passport. After the verification was done which involved a couple of questions, we were asked to give Rs. 100 each. I knew beforehand that the verification process doesn't involve any fees and also knew (from my friends who have been there earlier for similar thing) that the police takes Rs. 100 as bribe but no one dared to ask why as it might just delay our application and will result in nothing.
