I went to the Mansurabad Passport Office with the required documents, but I was repeatedly sent from one counter to another and asked for additional documents. I felt I was being deliberately harassed because I had not come through a broker or known contact. Later, I was asked to pay Tk 2,500 to make the process easier. After paying, I immediately received a token. I also observed people allegedly paying Ansar members to get faster service. In my opinion, this experience shows that there is an organized system of corruption and broker-based services at the passport office, involving officials, police, Ansar members, and intermediaries.
