Bribe for Police Verification of Passport

- Police Verification for Passport
- Paid INR 500
Passport officer for Bansdroni area, Mr. S.K.Sur called me around 8th Sept. to meet him and verify documents as he can't come to my house for verification for having lots of pending cases in hand. I met him on 11th Sept. 2015 (11/09/2015) near Bansdroni Notunbajar Sitola Mondir near about 12.20 pm. He took my documents without verifying and immediately after that he asked for an amount, not as a bribe, but to 'Have Some Sweets' with his office colleagues as he is doing my work. I refused on that instance and returned home. But my family members and relatives asked me to give an amount as he, being a police, delay clearing my passport or can ruin my future or any hope to have my passport. So my father called him and he demanded Rs. 500 INR. I met him on the next day (12/09/2015) around 11.00 am at the same place and gave the amount. After having that, he gave me an lecture on how he can ruin my passport. I also have a voice recording of that (in Bengali).
This incident gave me a bitter taste and I want to protest as loudly and strongly as it can and I want an action to be taken against the cheat.
