Have Anyone Committed to a Bombay Insane Asylum for Just $125 

From The Times of India:

Money can even buy madness. For Rs 5,000 only, you can put away anyone you dislike/hate/just-want-to-get-rid-of in the Thane Mental Asylum. No doctor's certificate needed, no court order, no identification procedure, why, not even proof of your address.

We are not being crazy. Mumbai Mirror correspondents Bhupen Patel, Rimona Ellis and Naveeta D Singh checked out the Asylum's corrupt ways themselves. Bhupen, posing as Deepak Sonawane, succeeded with the help of his "sister" Naveeta in getting papers for his "mentally unstable wife" Rimona's admission cleared by the Asylum superintendent Dr A R Nakalgaonkar by shelling out Rs 5,000.

After casually examining Rimona, Dr Nakalgaonkar issued Sonawane a certificate (printed alongside) for Rimona's admission as a voluntary boarder. It states: "I hereby certify that I have examined Smt Rimona Deepak Sonawane, aged 24. She is mentally unfit and she needs treatment."
