Bribe for Police and LIU Verification for Passport

Reported on July 19, 2013 from Ghaziabad , Uttar Pradesh  ι Report #34928

The police man called me and asked about my availability at home for documents verification and accordingly came at 9pm. After full verification he asked me for bribe.I offered him Rs 200 but he refused by saying that am I offering him alms?Then I offered him Rs 500, he kept the amount and told me that I will never receive the passport. I kept on increasing the amount and finally he agreed on Rs. 1200.
Just few days later a person from LIU came and asked for Rs.400.When I told that I have already paid Rs. 1200 he told me the rate is Rs 500 only and its not his fault that I have paid more. He took Rs.400. Another day postman came and took Rs 100 for delivering the passport.
In short I paid Rs. 1700 over and above the fees of passport which is Rs.1500 (Rs. 3200.00 for one passport)
Its a humble request to passport deptt to increase the fees of passport instead of paying bribes for their officials
