Me and my spouse went to uttara passport office previous year for submitting documents to issue new electrictronic passports for both of us. But we forgot to bring the main copy of our marriage certificate. We had the photocopy of it but not the main copy. So we were trying to look for the solution. Then one of the gaurd provide us a number and asked us to call there. Whenever we called the guy from the other side asked approximately 6000 taka to solve the issue. But it seems like a trap to me. So i refused and came back home just to bring the main copy and took the qeue again.

Ironically the same officer took my documents this time 😂 Whatever, this system

They provide a detailed schedule outlining specific times and locations for various areas. People arrived carrying photocopies of all necessary land documents, such as titles, registration papers, and survey deeds, along with cash amounts for bribes. The process was so meticulously organized that it closely resembled an official government procedure, with orderly lines of landowners waiting their turn. By leveraging influence from high-ranking officials, I was able to negotiate and settle the bribery fee at 20,000 BDT. The location of the event is Atti Bazar in Keraniganj, Dhaka district.

Eventually he took me outside the building, and demanded 2000 tk for verification. I said that I already paid the fee. He clearly said, lakh lakh tk uran amake 2000 taka dite gaye lage?

Came and threatened to hike up municipality tax almost 20X during assessment. Said we had to pay a small portion of it and they would not assess that way. It was extortion. But not much of a decision, given there was no recourse.
