Bribing during police verification
- Passport
- Police Verification for Passport
- Paid INR 500
I applied for passport in December, 2015(I don't know the exact date) and during the process of police verification, the police officer(Rajasekhar Reddy of Thavanampalli station) demanded an amount of 500/- as processing fee. I did not know that there was no processing fee for police verification. So I had to pay him the amount. Also, I saw him doing the same with other passport applicants who came for verification before me. Later, I contacted the passport office and found that there is no processing fee. I complained about this through the passport seva website but there was no response. Though it seems to be a small amount, actually it is not as he is collecting from every person who comes for police verification.
