Mathura - Agra - Ticket Bribe
I must start off by acknowledging my error in judgement in paying bribe.... There have been times where I paid 50,000 INR in duty rather than settling for 7000 INR bribe but this time, I slipped for sure :-(
I had an A/C-2Tier tkt booked from Agra to South India on south bound train. Due to change in plan I boarded same train 60 Km earlier from Mathura. So I did not have A/C ticket from Mathura to Agra. Attendant immediately came to me and found out that I was supposed to board from Agra. He then sent TTE to my seat a minute later.
TTE demanded 600/- cash or 2500/- with receipts. I paid him 600/- which TTE & Attendant promptly split - 400-200.
Instead of paying bribe, I should have recorded the conversation, paid full fine & then should have complaint to GRP/RPF.
Next time....
