Corrupt traffic police

Reported on August 22, 2011 from Allahabad , Uttar Pradesh  ι Report #4168

Me and my mom were returning from UP to Mumbai. we had got only one seat and we were ready to share. But while getting into the train we got messed up (as the charts were on the other side of the train which faced the platform) and got into the general bogie. when the train reached next station, i got donw in search of our seat bt unfortunately the seat was given to some1 else by the TC. so we were waiting for the TC to come as another seat in same compartment was vacant since v didn't had any seat to occupy. we asked the TC to give me the vacant seat as the one to occupy the seat dint turned up. But here the bribing process started and he wanted some money to shuffle the name for the seat. I was too young to fight for my rights (15) and he din wanted to talk to my mom, so finally we had to give up and pay him Rs 200 to get a seat which he must have given me as his duty and my right.
the matter here is not for 200 i wont get it back, but god knows how many people are forced to pay for these reasons.

thank you
