Bribe taken from a student...
- Police
- Police Verification for Passport
- Paid INR 200
It was July,2008.I had just passed out from Engineering college and waiting to join a company.The company where I got my job had a mendatory requirement for the passport at the time of joining.Thus I applied for it in around month of Apr-May.After a few days, I came to know that my passport is due police varification.Me and my mother went to the police station and they had a discussion with us.They said they would process it soon.After 2 weeks when I checked the status of the passport it was still showing -Police verification due.I called them up.They asked me to come to the police station once again.Again,me and my mother went there and they kept us waiting for long time.My mother got angry and went inside the room and asked them the reason for their behaviour.One police assistant came out of the room and called me to a dark,deserted place in the police station itself and asked me to give him some bribe.He started to threaten me saying-'You are a good student.We don't want to mess with you.But at times we can be bad.We can put a case on you and you wont get your job.Isn't it a better option to give us some money for our snacks?'I was shocked to hear this and I called my mom and told her.I needed my passport before my joining on 8th August.And it was already mid July. Finally,My mother gave him 200 Bucks and then they release my file.Though I didn't receive the passport within my joining.I requested my HR to consider this.Thank god it was a non-government organisation and my HR didn't take any bribe to consider the case...I received my passport in End September then submitted the documnet in my company.
