- Paid INR 500
I live in the UK. I was travelling from Bangalore to Mumbai. I could not get a flight ticket to Mumbai. I did not have choice except to travel in the train in the first class compartment. When I tried to buy a ticket in the station all the first class tickets were sold out. I was told that if I paid few ruppees the ticket collectot would find me a place. I was asked to buy any ticket to bombay and get into the train. I got into the train when the ticket collector came in to check my ticket I asked him if I could get a seat in the first class. He said he would check. After few minutes he came back and asked me to come to his offical comparment. He said he would give me a seat and sleeper in AC comparment. I was delighted. He asked me to pay Rs 5000.00 on top of the train fare. I was delighted to pay and find a place to sleep on a long journey. I paid all the amount he asked for and a packet of cigerattes and a bottle of whisky. So paying extra money I had a comfortable journey otherwise I could have a misarable time in *******
