Reported on August 21, 2011 from Thrissur , Kerala  ι Report #4325

A phone call from police station came to my house, asking me to go there for passport verification. I went the police officer asked some questions, i had only copy of my sslc certificate which was signed by gazetted officer. But the police officer demanded original. As i had submitted it for college admission i told i can't bring it now. He said "well ok....! I am going to write you have no criminal cases on your name. But if i start to investigate i am sure i can find some case that make your passport dreams go away"!! He was happy to see my terrified face, he smiled and signed the papers. And now he have the signed paper in has hands and asks me "there are some rituals in police station , you have to give money for us to drink tea!! i had no option i had 200 rs and i gave them!!
