Had to Pay Bribe for Passport Verification

Reported on November 1, 2010 from Gurgaon , Haryana  ι Report #30069

I applied for Passport for my 6 months old daughter. The police constable came to house for verification and my wife did not offer him any money. He in turn reported it as 'No Objection' but also in the Recommended field put the status as 'Not Recommended'. The status was reflected as above in the Haryana Police website for some time. When we followed up in person, we were made to do multiple rounds and then offered a solution that we can provide more documents before the file is sent back to Delhi Passport Office. I provided all the documents once again which were attached to the file which was then sent to Delhi. I had to pay Rs 500 to person who let me do this. I am ashamed since I never wanted to pay a bribe as I thing of such things as my right. I had previously got Passport for myself and my wife made with out paying a single paisa.
