Officer demands reimbursemnt for Petrol & Communication charges

Reported on April 26, 2012 from Malerkotla , Punjab  ι Report #1888

I'd applied for passport. When police verification officer comes to my house for verification, i produced all the documents. After completing with the verification officer asked me for money quoting "hor fer kis tra krna"? First i indirectly asked if there is any fees regarding verification. He told there isn't any fees but the verification fees i.e. bribe is to be collected as per the orders of its higher officials. He also told me that the money is divided in between him, Sp city office & some other officials. The verification officer indirectly told me if I'll pay money the further proceedings shall go smoothly otherwise I'll I will be responsible for any of the hassles in the verification. So Without my consent I've to pay bribe.. Govt. should quit this nonsense verification because there is no use of it..
