Reported on November 20, 2017 from Chennai , Tamil Nadu  ι Report #171542

Sir, I came from Saudi Arabia landed on 17th morning 8.30 am in Chennai airport, after my immigration I came to take my baggage before claiming baggage there is an security check for hand luggage, a north Indian person from security check asked me how many mobile phone you have in your luggage, though I have two new mobile phones he told me to come with him. He told me to claim my baggage also and took me to the customs counter at the corner of the exit way. Near there we can see baggage scanning they told me to scan again all my baggage once again, after that he took me to the customs counter where one lady standincuscustoin counter she took my two mobile with my passport and told me to wait until her superior comes. Once his superior with big mustache came she handovers my belongings to him, that superior officer told me I will allow one mobile to take and you have to pay duty for the second mobile I asked him how much to pay and I produced him my mobile invoice amounted SR.1499 he converted that money to Indian rupees where the conversion rate he stated as 18 rupees for One Riyal. I argued with his for that he told me If you argue with me I will value each items in your baggage, then I remain silent he puts some calculation and told me to bring 9500 Rs. I went out to arrival area and brought money from my father . After that I went near him he took to the 3rd counter from the lady officer counter. There he told me if you want to pay duty in bank I will value all your belongings, or else pay this money to me . Though my parents waiting eagerly outside to see me after 3 years I did not told anything and bribed him the money I was holding in my hand as he wished for. He took me to one cardboard room near the scanning where there is no camera coveragin near customs counter and took my money. Later he told me to leave and not to complaint regarding this. I don't know his name only thing I know is that superior officer have big mustache and almost 6.1 or 6.2 in height.
