Asked to pay bribe to report loss of cellphone

Reported on October 28, 2012 from Hyderabad , Telangana  ι Report #31166

My friend lost cell phone in Hyderabad city. I went to Panjagutta police station to file an FIR. I was asked to pay Rs 100 through E-**********, which I paid. I am not sure if its required or if there is any fees associated with the basic right of getting an FIR filed. I was told to come back after two days to collect the official copy of FIR. The reporting officer asked me to pay bribe before giving the official copy of report. I protested and said I am not going to pay and its my right. I always prefer to go by legal way. Instead of paying bribe I prefer to get a ticket/challan and pay it directly to the government of India. I believe we all should follow the same.
