Paid bribe for police verification or passport

Reported on July 15, 2015 from Panchkula , Haryana  ι Report #62782

Hi All,

I went to police station to know the status of police verification. When i contacted the appropriate person he said yes your verification is pending and form with us. His wrote an application on his own and the he asked me 'There is some fees for it'. I ignored. Then he said me to get the application signed by two neighbors. I did same and again went to police station.

This time he again said me for the fees. I said, 'Which fees sir'. He asked, 'do you want to forward your verification or not'. I said, 'My all documents are already verified by passport office and you have verified me physically, now why my application wont be forwarded'. He said, 'Ok, it will be forwarded'.

Same day, i discussed the issue with my friends. Everyone said, he will not forward your application untill unless you pay the fees(Bribe). Next day i again visited the police station. I enquired about my application. I notice that all the application of previous day were forwarded but mine was not. Because i didn't pay bribe.

I gave him a Rs 300. he happily took it and said softly. We have to pay money to higher level also.

Police department does not forward your application until unless you pay bribe them. Why this bribe? Can anyone/ government stop this ?

What is your reaction after reading this report?
