When you have to bribe just to get your Passport made

Reported on February 18, 2016 from Dehradun , Uttarakhand  ι Report #93050

I do not remember the exact date, but in the month of May, 2015, I was getting my Passport made from Dehradun.

Unknowingly, I made a mistake while filling up my details in the form yet it passed the initial rounds of the Passport Seva Kendra and only the Police Verification was left.

Later on when the Police officials contacted me, everything was well and I thought that the whole process was done with. But, then my mistake was 'discovered' (or invented maybe?).
The Police verification went on dragging then, I had to go back and go throughout the whole process again, right from the very beginning.

So, just to avoid the hassle and get my passport made, paid up and also gave two bottles of Rum and voila ! , Everything fell back in place.

Though, even I was at fault to give away a bribe, but at times when the system closes in on you, somehow, the only way out always seems to be a BRIBE !

What is your reaction after reading this report?
