I don't need this

Reported on November 30, 2012 from Kolkata , West Bengal  ι Report #412

I, ******* **********, a computer engineer, currently working with an American MNC, had applied for my passport on 18th Jan,2012 [ File No- CA2061359228512, Date of Birth 27/04/1988]. I am a permanent resident of Vill: Hatogobindapur, Burdwan, W.B. since my birth. In the month of March, one D.I.B. inspector, named ******** ****** from Burdwan D.I.B. Office came to my place for police verification. I was in Chennai at that time, my mother submitted all of my documents to him what he wanted. He asked my mother to give him 3000/ bribe in a red envelop. Being a ordinary housewife, my mother paid him the money without informing me. After receiving the money, he refused to do clear my verification report as my Secondary Examination Admit card is bearing Date of Birth 01/03/1989. After returning from Chennai, I went to him and tried to understand that, it is clearly mentioned in the Govt. of India Pass website that, in case of Birth Proof, any one is needed among Birth Certificate and Admit Card. I belong to a remote village, and my school authority put the incorrect Birth date without informing me at the time of Secondary Examination like many other students of our school. Besides, I have submitted my voter card, my birth certificate, PAN card, ration card and all other necessary documents. But, he refused me again and again and asked me for more bribe. My IP no. is 820/2012. My question is. In case of Birth proof, always Birth Certificate has higher priority than the Admit Card. According to Passport site, admit card is not mandatory. And, if it is really a discrepancy, I would not be even allowed to applied for passport. I shall be highly obliged if the case is looked upon as I am in urgent need of the passport for my official purpose. But it’s been almost a year since I applied (complete with all documents provided). My career is going to spoil. Please take necessary steps against that corrupted D.I.B. official. Thanking You, ******* **********, Vill + P.O. Hatgobindapur Dist: Burdwan West Bengal PIN- 713407
