Bribe for Police Verification for Passport issue

Reported on December 24, 2020 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #226346

My passport had been initiated for Police Verification. I had received call from Jurisdictional Police station, i.e. Ramamurthy Nagar Police Station. They requested me to visit police station, which defeats the purpose of police verification. I had visited and provided all the relevant documents and answered the queries posted by the investigating officer. After completing and signing-off the required documents, the investigating officer insisted to pay fees. They requested to pay "Five Hundred" rupees. Fearing that they might provide a negative report that might lead to further hassles, i had to pay by cursing them.
This incident happened at Ramamurthy Nagar Police Station in Bangalore.

I am not sure why we need this unnecessary step if it doesn't solve the purpose of police visiting the home to make sure applicant is resident of the house or not.

What's your reaction?
