Bribe for Police verification certificate for passport

Reported on August 21, 2011 from New Delhi , Delhi  ι Report #4279

I applied for my passport. I police constable came to my home for verification. He did all the verification/checked all the documents and was satisfied. But didn't sent his report for almost 3 weeks. After 3 weeks, 1 day morning I got a call from constable. He called me to police station at Kashmiri Gate Bus stand. I went there. Constable told me that my surname in voter ID card and other documents is not same and the affidivit i submitted is not acceptable as per the rule. So I need to give an undertaking on a white paper that I personally verify the affidivit I have submitted. I was surprised that police is not accepting the affidivit issued by a notary and asking me to verify the affidivit but I had no choice. I wrote that on a white paper. I check online for 1 more week but still it was showing 'police report pending'. I went again to police station to check the status. And this time the constable asked for "chai / pani'. He asked for Rs.500.00 and finally negotiated for Rs.300.00. And the very next day, I checked online and status was police report ok.

What is your reaction after reading this report?
