Bribe for change in name
I stay in Mumbai.I applied for rectification of name in Kerela, which turned out to be a nightmare for me.
I am born in Kerela.
I had all my documents proper but they keep on telling me that it takes 9 months for the procedure (??? getting a baby in world is faster than it). So i asked to a local lawyer if i could get things done easily and he game me reference of an officer in dept.
I directly met him in municipal office (knowing that meeting him personally outside office would mean giving bribe for sure) but he refused to ********** me and sent another office (who turned out to be a peon) to my relatives home and directly asked for Rs. 10,000 (and surprisingly only 3-4 days) to get my name changes else we would have to face trouble.
We refused and complaint to highest official only to hear "You will earn enough when you will go abroad to gulf countries. Consider it as investment."
Thanks to attack on Baba Ramdev, there were anti corruption raid in all offices and i took advantage of the opportunity and got my document submitted.
But after that they had my original birth certificate.
They told us that document was under process (for more than a month) only to find that they didn't forward my document and were again back to normal business.
The most hideous rule of Kerela govt. was (as they said) that my mothers name would be same as her name in school which obviously not acceptable as I was born after her marriage (use common sense you idiots).
Thanks to local Corporator and my relatives, and Baba Ramdev and Mr. ********** Hazare, i finally got my Birth Certificate back with proper names, without paying even a penny as a bribe.
I strongly support IAC movement.
