Sore thumbs of Mysore

Reported on January 9, 2013 from Mysore , Karnataka  ι Report #133

As a tourist in India last yr, I had very bad impression of the police at Mysore Palace when one of them demanded bribe.
do u know wat my crime was? I took a photo in the palace n my camera's non-visible flash destroyed the palace paint it seems.
there were at least 10 others taking photos. But policeman chose me. Snatched my cam away n told me 2 go wz him 2 station
then a senior policeman told me to pay RS500 for him to drop charges. In S'pore, I wd haf been told politely not to do so.

What is your reaction after reading this report?
