Bribe to get Death Certificate

Reported on August 5, 2011 from Hyderabad , Telangana  ι Report #6169

I went to obtain a death certificate for my father. I had all the papers needed - doctor's certificate, ECG report etc., The municipal official in Azampura asked me to pay the fee for Form-2 - requisition for death certificate. I paid Rs 300 and he would not giuve me the Rs 50. He also said there would be another official to verify the death and I have to take good care of him. No one turned up and i went to check the following week. He took an additional Rs 100 before handing me over the death certificates. Absolutely disgraceful for a tragic situation.
