Paid bride to proof that I don't have police record.

Reported on March 16, 2011 from Allahabad , Uttar Pradesh  ι Report #26298

I applied for my passport and saw for the first time how police asks for bribe shamelessly and that too with a proud face. The policeman at the Phoolpur thaana who handles the verification for passport asked for Rs. 700 to write that I don't have any criminal record. And I told its too much, the reply was " Yeh tho standard rate hai, isse kam mein kuch nahi hoga. Adha tho saheb (Thanna incharge) hi le lenge". First time felt helpless and paid the bribe as I needed my passport. It's a pity that we have to pay bribe to get our identity.
