Paid a bribe to Airtel to avoid "legal harassment"

Reported on July 19, 2011 from Hyderabad , Telangana  ι Report #6389

I am a resident of hyderabad and I was Airtel broadband's customer. In the matter of a wrong billing case, I have been trying to get redressal from airtel. Airtel arranged a call from their calcutta call center and later sent a legal notice from Delhi. The logic is to harass me as it would be difficult for me to attend the case in delhi.
Their legal arbitrator explained that even if i win the case, the compensation would not cover my costs and loss of time. After consulting with my lawyer, I paid up what the Airtel demanded. So I paid a bribe to my Airtel so that they don't harass me further.
