- Paid INR 1,000
I was travelling alone and was visiting my home (Delhi). At the last exit door I was bothered by the police man who knew I was carrying nothing expensive and illegal. He asked questions like do yo have cosmetics? Perfumes? etc etc. Finally, I knew that he won't let me go if I do not show him some money. I gave $20 and he said that my friend this is for our refreshment only.
He was not hesitant in asking and taking the money in public. Being tired after 20 hours of journey and in excitement of meeting family members who are just across the door, the person travelling would not want to extend the period of arguing with policemen. This is the soft spot for policemen to make money and harass anyone.
I bribed to avoid the tiring situation and harassment despite I was not wrong.
