New Indian Website Enables Anonymous Reporting of Bribery Incidents NationwidePreviousNext

Bribes.fyi is a new Indian website created by student Aryan Nishad that allows citizens to anonymously report bribery incidents in government offices. The platform collects details such as department, city, and amount demanded, compiling over 600 reports from 251 cities. Users can browse and compare bribery trends across departments like Police, RTO, and Revenue Land Records. The site emphasizes privacy and does not verify individual claims but aims to highlight patterns of corruption nationwide.
