After receiving my work visa to work in England,I booked air ticket to go to london. I was going to London first time in my life and I never been abroad before. I spent lot of money to sirt out my family commitment before my departure to U.K. I too Pound 500 to use in U.K. incase in emergency and innitial spending for food and accomodation. I went to SBI and changed Indian rupees to Pounds.
While I was checking in at Ahmedabad international Airport,one officer at custom desk told me to declare how much money I am taking to U.K.
Innocently I said I am taking £500.00 with me. The custom officer then started bullying and threatening me that you can not travell today unless you give me £100.00.
I was very anxious and worried because my family had hope that I am going to U.K. and every one were happy and worried about me.I worked very hard to find a job in U.K. and I had to join my duty there on next day.I did not want to lose my job,
I was very upset and I did not want to involve in trouble caused by custom.I decided to give him £100.00.
The custom officer told me to go in to the toilet and put £100.00 in my passport then give the passport to him. I did as he told me to do and he stamped my passport.
