- Paid INR 700
I went to book the crematorium located at Wilson garden for my friend who died an unnatural death at the age of 30 years. His entire family was in ********** sorrow for having lost a family member at this young age. After i registered for the time slot 4.00 p.m, the officials asked us to come at that time with the body and they will help us facilitate the cremation of my friend. They requested us not to complain against then. when we arrived with the body, we had to register by paying a fee of Rs 50/-. The lady who was registering the name asked for Rs 150/-. When i asked when the BBMP fees is only rs 50/- then why i was being asked to pay extra, she said that without paying Rs 150/- we cannot get the registration done. The staff there helped us to conduct the funeral and before we planned to leave asked for Rs 1000/- for all the balance staff who were involved in doing the cremation. i questioned them stating that you are being paid by the government for doing your duty. Then we felt that if we do not give the money then we may not get our friend's ashes which we were supposed to come and collect the next day. So we obliged and paid Rs 600 to the staff and left the place.
