Reported on February 16, 2011 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #28528

I thought no customs was chargeable. It was sent through International Airmail. They held the package and asked me to pay a bribe for a Rs.2500 worth battery (I went with the bill). I told that no customs should be charged for a personal electronics purchase of Rs.2500 they wanted me to pay Rs.1000. I only had a Rs.500 note in my pocket which I gave as was not in mood to argue. It was only one old aged person who looked decent otherwise. I was quite surprised that a fatherly figure was asking bribe from me!!

We really are in a very low morale society and unless we act, it will continue to be this low if not progress lower. Lets join hands in SCRUBBING corruption off our society.
