Paid a bribe for quick processing of my passport verification

Reported on April 6, 2011 from Kolkata , West Bengal  ι Report #9876

I quickly needed a passport for my overseas office trip. I had to pay the bribe to the police officer responsible for verification at his office. He verified my credentials at the station itself but it did not help with the delay in issuance.The file moved to the next officer who was kind enough to do it without a bribe. The latter officer just asked for a letter from my company conforming to the office trip. So much for a document from the government which is rightfully my own.
