Did not pay, but there were expected implications

Reported on March 17, 2011 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #32362

One of the clients of the company I work for wanted a background check on the entire project team. I was asked to go to the police station nearest to my house for a background check. I went there, met him. Then they slowly started trying to make me feel that I would not get a 'clean' check if I did not give money. On the pretext of a missing document I sneaked out and then 'couriered' it to them. Seeing that I escaped the face-to-face I was called on phone multiple times. And last heard my background check failed and I was on another project. But I sent a mail to my HR telling them I do not intend to pay a bribe. Then again I also heard my company sent its own touts and paid lots of money to get everyone cleared (not me).
