Chai Pani ka kharch? WTH?

Reported on June 15, 2011 from Ahmedabad , Gujarat  ι Report #7967

My mobile was stolen and I went to the police station of my area to file an FIR. At first the officer said I need to get it on a stamp paper. So I went to a local court and sworn on a stamp paper all the details. Next day I went back to police station and on my surprise the officer refused to take my FIR request. He said I had to ********** exactly the same officer whom I met the previous day. I requested again. After requesting 100 times he finally agreed and asked his Hawaldar to file and FIR report. Now when the Hawaldar was filing a report this officer came back and told me that, sir give 100 rs as chai pani kharch to this hawaldar once you are done. WTH????????

I need to pay money just because I want to file a complaint???

Luckily some other good officer came and said that sir you don't have to give money, he respected my occupation. I am a doctor.

But what if I was not a doctor?? Am I not a human or a citizen of India?? Why do I need to pay just to file a complaint or for anything???

What is your reaction after reading this report?
