For those like me who don’t know what’s a crore, it’s 10m; a crore rupees ~US$134k.

Also looked up bribing traffic police as it sounds somewhat incredible. Found this: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-natio... According to that article, 82% of respondents (among truck drivers and fleet owners) alleged to have paid bribes in their last trip, at an estimated average of Rs 1257 (US$17) per trip (I assume people who’re annoyed about bribes are more likely to respond, so the reality should be somewhat better than 82% which is kind of crazy...).
