Paid bribe for Luggage/Cloak Room Facility at Dadar Railway Station
- Railways
- Excess Luggage
- Paid INR 20
I was in Mumbai on 28th and 29th Oct for some work and wanted to use the Cloak Room at Dadar Railway Station on 29th so that I wouldn't have to carry my luggage while travelling in the city. I had a Katiyar (similar to the size of hunting knife) and a swiss-knife kept in the bag which I disclosed before having a security check. The operator said that his senior will take decision over it. I told the same to the senior official when he arrived and had a security check. He told me that I have to pay Rs 50 for keeping the bag in the Cloak room. I told him that I will keep the knife with him until I arrive as I also can't carry a knife with me during the travel in the city. For which he said that if I kept the knife with him he will keep it but won't return back. I tried to convince that it was a gift and the edges of Katiyar were also blunt and wont hurt anybody but he didn't listen. I bargained the amount to Rs 20, paid the amount to the operator (as instructed by the officer), sealed my bag and left for my way. The officer's name was B. **********.
