The corrupt officials will try and find as many ways to delay the process, harrass the person and ultimately force the person to pay a bribe to get the work done quicker. But there is absolutely no need to pay a bribe to the Police for the passport verification. They have to send the case back with the verification within a specified period of time. Go to the Police station and present yourself for the verification. Keep a complaint ready to be given to senior officials in case they demand a bribe. Passport officers also now have systems by which one can track his/her application. Technology has also made it a little easier for us. You can carry a mobile and record the conversation in case the policeman demands a bribe.
You can also make a written complaint about this case to the vigilance authorities mentioned in the website. You can also file an RTI application with the Passport office to find out what has happened to your application if it takes a long time. Also, mention to the police that you know your rights and that you will complain to higher authorities if they demand a bribe. There are several instances reported in our -I didnt pay a bribe section where citizens have successfully resisted demands for bribes for the issue of passports and for the police verification. It is only if we stand up and be firm about not paying a bribe, that things will change.
