Customs bribe in Mangalore Airport

Reported on May 4, 2012 from Mangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #1860

I was going on my vocation to india. I was carrying only a kids toy. Customs official one. Mr. ********** and his team were on duty. He asked me how much you have in pocket.. i said why?..he said you have to pay a duty of 10000 Rupees. i said it is a kids toy sir.. you check this.. he said wait in my cabin.. he then came to me and said give me 200 dhs.. i had to give as i was not having enough time as my relatives were looking for me. Mostly people who travel to kerala thru managalore been targeted by this customs official and its unfortunate that this customs beggars mostly all are from kerala. they know that travelers will not have time to argue with them.
