Poor Accountant was forced to pay bribe

Reported on May 3, 2011 from Muzaffarpur , Bihar  ι Report #8762

Hi

This story is related with my verification process for getting passport. I have joined a company in bangalore in 2008, where i was asked to submit the passport details.

My father is an accountant in a pvt firm, and hardly earning 6500 rs a month at that time. The police came to my house and asked for showing documents on 20th January,later they asked my father to bribe them with 20,000 Rs in order to give me a clean report to the passport authority, although i have been never named under any criminal offence so far ever in Indian Police system.

My father was forced to bribe them, later upon too much of negotiation, he managed to settle the case for 5000 rs, considering my upcoming future.

I wonder....he paid nearly 80 % of the salary as a part of bribe to those policemen.....

What is your reaction after reading this report?
