Trichy Resident Paid ₹2,000 Bribe to Get a Death Certificate — For Her Own Father

A resident of Woraiyur, Trichy went to the local civic office to collect her father's death certificate — a document she legally deserves for free within 21 days of death. Instead, a junior clerk told her the file was "stuck" and casually mentioned ₹2,000 would "speed it up." She paid. She got it the same afternoon. This isn't an isolated case. Three other residents in the same area reported the same experience this month. 📍 Location: Woraiyur Zonal Office, Trichy. 🏛️ Department: Trichy Corporation — Civil Registration Division. Death certificates are FREE. No one should pay for grief. ⚠️ If this happened to you — report it here. You can remain anonymous. Your complaint can trigger a DVAC investigation.
