Bribes

I went out to lunch with some friends of a friend this weekend, and as we were driving through Connaught Place, we got pulled over. The driver had gone through a yellow light, and the police man, waiting about fifty yards after the light (and therefore unable to see its color) decided he had run a red light and pulled him over.

The police man said that he could either go to court (give up a day of work) to pay a fine of somewhere around 1500 rupees, or give him 200 rupees. We gave him the money and went on.
