Paid a bribe of 500/- Police Verification for Passport

Reported on July 13, 2016 from Nellore , Andhra Pradesh  ι Report #110867

I have applied for the passport was done with process of passport of office which went smooth on 2016-05-06.
After two days I got a message stating that your passport is under police verification. Following that I got two messages from two stations stating your passport has been sent to respective office for process. I called the both police in which one confirmed that he would be coming. Next I called and he said by evening he will come and kept on waiting for him till evening and night but he didn't turn up. Next day I again called him and got the same reply and waited for whole day. Finally he turned up on 2016-05-09 at 9 PM and asked some questions for which I replied I completed my graduation a year back and trying for job. He started to frame his own story and I got the point and after a few minutes he started using mobile doing nothing in it then I went inside and brought 500/-. He suddenly stood and had the money and said it will be done. I asked whether he need any signature from neighbours cause my friends said there would be requirement of two signatures from neighbours but he said won't be necessary. Then I have wait for almost 10 days for the status in passport website to be updated to "your police verification is done".
