- Railways
- Transport of Goods
- Paid INR 50
I was going from jammu to jamshedpur & I had an 1 day halt in new delhi &from there I was accompanied with my friend.when we reached the new delhi railway station,we hired a coolie for the luggage.As we were about to enter the station, a police man stopped us and told us that I cannot carry this cooler inside .I told him that nobody stopped me at jammu station and also I didnot know about any of these rules and please let me go.He denied the permission and he told me either you give me some money or get it registered in some luggage counter.I then told my coolie to take me to the luggage counter and I was shocked to hear his reply.He told me that luggage counter is very far away from this place and he would not take me there.I requested him and even i was offering 250 rupees to him but he was simply denying everything.then I felt that there is some kind of nexus between coolies and railway poice.I didnot want my friend to suffer and we were already getting late and also I didnot know where the luggage counter was.I had to pay 50 rupees which I never wanted to pay.
