Passport Clearance Bribe

Reported on August 9, 2013 from Asansol , West Bengal  ι Report #35336

I went to the police station with all my documents on the day of inquiry. The police verified all the documents and told that all the documents were there except that he required a affidavit from gazetted officer and questioned me why my didn't come with me. As i was young he kind of felt ashamed initially.
I called up my dad and told him about it. I had to travel for almost 5 Kms . He got the documents and i went and received them from his office. When i met the officer once again he got infuriated as he had no more loopholes and my dad could not come as he was busy with some work.
This time he asked me straight forward that we need some "Kharcha Pani " to process this documents as there are lot of people down the line. I requested the officer to approve it as i had merely Rs,50 with me then. But the officer would not budge and finally i had to again go home (3 Kms) and get Rs.1000 that he had demanded . Finally he agreed to clear my verification.
