Paying bribe for getting the inspection officer signature for my bike
- Railways
- Transport of Goods
- Paid INR 200
I was forced to pay bribe for getting the inspection officer signature for transporting my bike from chennai to kerala. this is in addition to the railway charge of ~650 rs. When i reached the parcel area of chennai railway station, i was surrounded by the agents asking to help me. I refused their help because they were asking 1.5 k- 2k as charge which includes the parceling charge, the bribe they have to give to the railway and thier service charge. I told them i know how to get the things done but the railway officers were not giving sign in the form for clearance/inspection of the artcle for purchase. They made me to wait for more than 5 hours but they were giving signatures to the agents and other(who bribes) as they were putting bribe in along with the form.
At last i has to shell out 200 rupees to (100 each to two officers to get it sign). they haven't even looked into the parcel/or article or anything when i shelled out the money. May be everybody will know this practice after hitting by a bomb or so from any such bribed parcel exploded while transporting by the trains.
