Grave Corruption in passport officials in Pune

Reported on June 6, 2011 from Pune , Maharashtra  ι Report #8355

I wanted to renew my passport which was expiring and so went to passport office. The person who collects filled in forms refused to take my form and asked me to go outside and see a man.I went and saw a man who claimed he was ex-military person and wanted me to pay 10000 rupees and claimed passport authorities are with him and i wont get my passport unless i pay the money.
I wrefused to pay at first but i was in urgent need because i had to leave soon for abroad for learning..
So i had to pay him and the passport authorities then accepted my form without any question and no problems..
Passport is matter of national security and I wish passport officials be serious about their job.
