Passport office is corrupt
- Passport
- Police Verification for Passport
- Paid INR 500
I was called for a passport verification to Yashwanthpur police station on August 06. When I went there, the verification officer told me to come later, as my file hadn't reached him. So i went with my documents on August 08, the officer was outright rude and obnoxious, he glanced at my documents hastily and said he can't accept my bank transaction document as a valid address proof. His response shocked me, because those same documents were accepted without any issue at the Passport office located in the Lalbagh area, and when I asked him why couldn't accept it, he said that he has strict orders from the Intelligence dpt to accept only valid documents - his arguments sounded very absurd. I was so frustrated and annoyed that I left the place, the next day I went with the same documents, and a letter from my bank stating that I've been a customer with them for the past 2 yrs residing at the same address. Before I submitted anything, this time I placed a 500 RS note, and believe me, he didn't even bother to look at those documents I had kept in front of me. I'm ashamed I did it, but I was forced to do it, and didn't had an option.
