Bribe Paid for the first time.

Reported on September 30, 2010 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #30517

Hi I am an Engineer now. I would not like to reveal my name. It was in 2006, sometime in the month of Jan/Feb, I was in the final year of engineering. We were supposed to do a Project Work, which carried 300 marks. I was a student of reputed college of Bangalore. Three of us got an opportunity to do a Project in Final Assembly Section , HAL, Bangalore. As per norms for any work in HAL, one needs to clear Police verification. So me and my roommate went to Hebbagodi Police station, in Bangalore for the same. The constable there, who was in charge of filing the document asked Rs 200, I said i don't have, he said then forget the verification. Somehow I managed Rs 100, which was also a very big for a student like me. Again, I was asked to visit the Circle Office at Attible, the same story was repeated. Finally at the SP office,at Cunninghum Road,Bangalore,the clerk,was sitting in the same room where DSP used to seat, they were separated by a mere curtain.I am very sure whatever he was telling to me, even DSP was listening. but then, that day unfortunately, i had only Rs eighty with me, I told the same, he said, give me seventy, and keep Rs 10 for bus fare. and finally I cleared the Police verification. Oh, I forgot to mention that the Clerk at the DSP's room took my pen. That was the first time I paid Bribe. I successfully completed my Project work at HAl and now working for a IT company in Bangalore. I wonder, after paying almost about Rs 300, I could end up getting into HAL, then terroist could easily get into any secured place in the country. No wonder the underworld Gangstar Abu Salem was captured with 4 Indian passports.
