They called it charge of fuel

Reported on March 16, 2016 from Mirzapur , Uttar Pradesh  ι Report #95997

After applying for passport, I was called from the Kachhwa Police Station in Mirzapur district of Uttar Pradesh on 28/02/2016. After document verification, the verification clerk asked me Rs1500 in the name of fuel charge of verifying officials.
I denied and told him that I know there is no charge for police verification.
He did not say a word, but was embarrassed a lot from my reaction.
He then asked my present address which I had not mentioned in the documents as I was a hostler in Varanasi city and after a month, I was about to come back to my village after board exams. Now I told them the address and to stop me from getting verified, he put a recommendation to verify the same.

All this happened on 28 Feb 2016 3:00 PM. But after that, in the SP office Mirzapur, I met some honest officers who showed me what had been done with my papers for not paying the bribe.
But they assured me that they will verify my documents correctly and they did.
Now I've got my passport successfully. And I'm glad I stood against bribery.
I don't know the name of the officials at the Kachhwa Thana, but I've got them on video. I did a sting.
