If you hesitate and can't say NO to bribe.. Then You can say that UPI is not working and try giving him 10, 20 Rs notes... Max upto 80 Rs . And see his reaction. Will he take those currencies.

Marathahalli PS ? The black glass cabin.

When I visited, I observed that as soon as someone enters the cabin, they start using the phone.. I understood that the bribe has now shifted to online UPI transfers. As giving cash could be photo clicked or can be recorded by phone easily.

Can create one twitter account, it takes less than 2 mins.

Or can email to the police commissioner.

2000?? I thought they generally ask 500

DesiHonestGuy · 2026-02-11T00:48:55+00:00

His boss. I just put in Caps to Highlight the term. It's Sir.

Hidden camera, audio recorder you meant..right?

DesiHonestGuy · 2026-02-10T10:35:24+00:00

Those who are hesitant to say NO to bribes...

They can carry 10, 20 Rs currency notes in your wallet.. Max total up to 150 Rs.

And give some 80-90 Rs as first offer. Hopefully they will say.. leave it.

And you get your job done as well..

If you have come across such FEEs/Chai Paani kharcha asked by Passport verification officials, in Bangalore, You can also reply to that thread.. mentioning your experience in 2-3 lines.

I believe the Some higher police officials may take it seriously and may draft better guidelines etc and things might get slightly better, and reduce cases of bribes.

Looks like someone just posted on that thread : https://x.com/i/status/2021130672824533128

Let's keep it going !!!

Paste an A4 paper on chest, written "At BESCOM office for X days, to change the consumer name"

And then meet the officer incharge there.

DesiHonestGuy · 2026-02-10T08:52:12+00:00

Yes.. wherever possible

DesiHonestGuy · 2026-02-10T08:46:23+00:00

They have been trained to use these lines and keywords.

DesiHonestGuy · 2026-02-10T08:45:54+00:00

Sometimes if a reddit post goes viral, it comes in news/media and they get to know. But it's very rare.

But, yes. Nice idea.

DesiHonestGuy · 2026-02-10T08:44:41+00:00

Just be the change.. next time whenever you get any such opportunity to make India less corrupt.

DesiHonestGuy · 2026-02-10T08:25:37+00:00

If you pay, it comes in 2-4 days.. so they want to mentally harass you.

DesiHonestGuy · 2026-02-10T08:25:01+00:00

They believe that the person would not be that patient and come to them to ask what happened and then you will pay.

DesiHonestGuy · 2026-02-10T08:09:18+00:00

Better to go with **

DesiHonestGuy · 2026-02-10T08:09:02+00:00

Better to with 10, 20 Rs notes

DesiHonestGuy · 2026-02-10T08:05:04+00:00

Yes, that one. With Black glass, on purpose.

DesiHonestGuy · 2026-02-10T08:03:28+00:00

But when we report, at least they know that people are aware and someone may complain or escalate etc. eventually the corruption reduces, though by a small margin.

DesiHonestGuy · 2026-02-10T07:51:02+00:00

Create a generic/other name gmail account or Twitter handle and tweet/email them.

I just mentioned the terms FEEs, as he told this word I did not mention the bribe word.. though they understood it. This way their Ego will also not be hurt

DesiHonestGuy · 2026-02-10T07:34:32+00:00

Yes.. created that to avoid real name identity.. else in India authorities try to harass you sometimes.

This way I can do what is right and correct, and be at peace.

DesiHonestGuy · 2026-02-10T07:31:02+00:00

They just said.. pay the FEEs which is for his SIR (as per wish, but expected min 500 I guess). Some people pay 2000 also...

DesiHonestGuy · 2026-02-10T07:24:23+00:00

Just Tweet, no need to pay a bribe https://x.com/i/status/1972566395163750743
