If a policeman asks for a bribe, regardless of whether you have the required documents or not, do not comply with his illegal demand. The right course of action is to dial the Madadgar Police Helpline Number 15 to lodge a complaint about the corrupt officer.
Similarly, if a traffic policeman is doing so, then he is also committing an offence and a complaint can be registered, simply by dialling the Traffic Police Helpline 1915.
Consequences of demanding bribes
Visit a nearby police station to lodge your FIR under Section 161 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC), which relates to punishment for public servants taking gratifications other than their legal remuneration in return of an official act.
A corrupt officer can be sentenced for up to three years in prison, fined, or both, depending on the ruling of the judge. Many motorists, who are even in possession of valid documents and permits, opt to grease the palm of corrupt cops, which further encourages them to do so.
Legal experts want every single person to come forward and lodge their complaints instead of fulfilling such illegal demands, since taking action against corrupt police is the only way to stop them.
