An Expensive Affair

Posted on November 27, 2012

“I paid a bribe to a senior inspector for sitting with my girlfriend. They forcibly took away my driving license.…I am really ashamed to be here in Cochin...”

This dismal report from a respondent in Cochin, shows how corrupt traffic inspectors exploit the situation.

Is it illegal in India to be with your partner is what the respondent asks? What should one do when confronted with such cheap bribe tactics?
