Overview
- Bribes.fyi went live as a public, anonymous bribe‑reporting site and published its figures Monday showing roughly 616–617 reports from about 251–253 cities.
- The site lets users submit the department, city, amount alleged, and whether they paid or refused, and it displays filters and a map to compare departments and locations.
- Police departments account for the largest share of reports on the site—about 336–337 entries—followed by RTO and revenue/land records, with the platform saying roughly 37–38% of reporters refused to pay.
- The developer is identified as BTech student Aryan Nishad and the domain is registered with NameCheap; coverage notes the site appears built quickly with lightweight, likely AI‑assisted coding.
- The platform includes a basic verification feature that flags repeated reports about the same office but both media and the site stress the data are self‑selected, unvetted and not a substitute for formal investigations or official complaints.
