Tout outside BESCOM asked for Rs.800 to transfer ownership to my name

- Meter Transfer
- Paid INR 800
I needed to get the electricity bill transferred to my name (from previous owner from whom I had bought property). The tout accosted me at the entrance and insisted that I pay Rs.800 they wont get the electricity bill transferred to my name. I had to go overseas in 2 days and I was desperate so I guess I am also partly to blame. Despite haggling with him and another agent inside the office, they insisted that I pay the bribe else they will make it difficult for me. So I paid and it got done in 2 days.
God help India and God help Karnataka - the most corrupt state.
