Had to compulsorily pay the bribe to the corrupt police officer
- Police
- Police Verification for Passport
- Paid INR 400
I had to visit the police station for verification of my address and myself while renewing the passport.
My dad had informed me that he might ask for 400 per person to further process the verification. I said to myself, i would not give him the bribe.
I went there. my turn came. i sat with the officer. He checked all my documents. He asked me Rs. 400. I purposely made a shocking face to make him guilty of asking for money. I started checking my papers, just to show him that all my documentation is correct and then said it to him that since all my papers are proper and as per requirement - why this money for??
He got a little on the back foot and started saying - ok then let a policeman come to your place and if you are not present at home, he will not come back again. His petrol cost needs to be paid by you, the photocopy cost needs to be paid by you etc etc... Also he will not tell when he is coming to your place.
Finally i gave up and had to give pay the bribe.
