I didn't pay a bribe for Ticket Confirmation from RAC to 2nd Sleeper

Reported on November 11, 2011 from Bharuch , Gujarat  ι Report #31440

On 29-10-2011, my wife and my son were on our way to Secundrabad (in BVC-Kakinada Exp), we had our 2nd-Sleeper tickets' reservation status as RAC. On the way, the TC came across to me and informed me that we would be getting confirmed tickets in another coach as two berths were unoccupied. He then pointed out that some waiting-list passengers were ready to pay Rs. 500 for confirmed seats. So I should also pay him something 'by understanding'..

I clearly told him: "I do not support corruption. You are giving us confirmed berths. It is your duty. And for that I won't pay you anything." He was a bit embarrassed and didn't retort. Then we moved to the other coach and had relatively peaceful journey... After TC went, a fellow passenger (who was a teacher in some school and was taking some students on a tour) came to me and patted my back and said: "Well Done! I appreciate it..."

What's your reaction?
