Bribe for carrying 1 bottle of whiskey from Goa to Bangalore
Date --- 17/08/2017
Time- 2055hrs (8:55 pm)
Location --- Ramnagar check post( On the way to Bangalore from Goa)
BUS --- KSRTC AIRAVAT DIAMOND CLASS (KA 57 F 1622)
I was travelling with a bottle of Black Dog whiskey from Goa. Our bus was stopped at the said check-post when a policeman in uniform but without a name tag came in and asked us if we were carrying liquor. My friend honestly replied we were and subsequently I was asked to de-board the bus with the bottle and get it "REGISTERED". At the office, there was a person not in uniform(wearing a maroon shirt). He told me that with permit from Goa they ask for 200 and since I was not having a permit I would be charged 500. When I asked him about the rules he replied "Tum jaise baat kar raha hai mujhe theek nahi lag raha". I understood that this was a threat and he and some other policemen in uniform(but wthout name tags) would go to any extent for the bribe. Finally he settled at 200. I boarded the bus, took the money and paid them.
The mentioned bus has a CCTV camera which can be accessed for proof of the person entering the bus and checking and asking me to de board.
