Had to pay to get my bags out of arrival terminal

Reported on January 22, 2011 from New Delhi , Delhi  ι Report #28763

I arrived from US to Delhi to ********** my family and had two bags with me. Apparently, I was stopped and asked to do screening of bags which I did since I had nothing to hide. Then I was being harassed as they started opening my bags but didn't find anything on the first one. Then they took my digital camera and said that they can confiscate it as I was not paying duty. I told them I will be taking it back and they can not it in the passport. Then started the haggling saying if I do not pay up 1000 I will be stuck there for quite a long time. I argued for about 1 Hr before bailing out. Paid and left. This is the price to pay to come to my own country.
