Indian Student Launches Bribes.fyi Website to Anonymously Report Bribery Incidents
Bribes.fyi is a new, free, crowdsourced website created by Indian student Aryan Nishad that allows citizens to anonymously report bribery incidents in government offices. Users can submit details such as department, city, amount demanded, and whether they paid or refused the bribe. The platform aggregates over 600 reports from more than 250 cities, organizing data by department and location to highlight corruption patterns. It emphasizes anonymity and cautions that data reflects a self-selected sample, not a comprehensive measure of corruption.
