Passport Verification can be done for Rs 500

Reported on March 14, 2011 from Nellore , Andhra Pradesh  ι Report #26397

This has become a very normal practice in my native place Nellore to pay a Bribe to get things done.

I applied for a passport by the end of my engineering course. It was well-known to everyone that the police guy who comes for verification will expect to get his pocket filled. Otherwise you are not verified and passport is delayed for no reason.

So when this police came to my house for verification I directly asked him How much do you want ? He was very happy with this question and asked for 700 rupees. So the bargain went till 500 rupees. And more surprisingly his explanation was "Ab nahi toh kab do ge. Amount dedo na!!".

Then I paid and got my passport in next 2 weeks.

What is your reaction after reading this report?
