[Resolved]  New Delhi airport — Corruption / bribing

Address:New Delhi, Delhi

I visited India last month for my sister marriage but was really disappointed with the customs at the baggage counter , because I was carrying few perfume bottles and also had few gadgets for personal use ( iPad and Dale camera) on me infect my mobile phones what I have been using were in my hand bag as well .

And the custom office who checked my baggage at the X-ray belt on terminal three actually asked me for 50 dollars saying all this would cost more than 500 bucks ... He even included stuff I have been using for peronal use ... And for god sake I was traveling home for marriage won't I bring gift for under 1000 dollars ...

Seriously I was amazed to see how that guy had guts to ask me for money even though we have cameras every where at terminal 3 and I paid him because I was in a rush and wanted to avoid any hassle as I had to travel down to Punjab ..

I wonder when will corruption stop in India , especially at the gates of entry to India ..

Cheers

This is the mistake we most do always... We all know we busy and rush to come out as early as possible from airport, instead of complaining against them. Have you ever try to give complaints to specified authority in airport? answer is No.

You paid the amount whatever he/they demanded in rush... and it is similar to encourage them to demand money at their counters in airport. They are taking advantages of these incidents while entry into India. So how you can expect that this corruption would be stop?

I am not saying all these againsting your view/complain. Just giving a view of practical scenario in today. Now a days, people are ready to "pay n go", but they have no time to "stop & ask".

Finally, I dont see any surprizes in demanding money, when they have people, who are ready to pay.

sir there is no proper channels to complaint, especially when u come from over seas as all of these guys are linked with in Airport .

I remember an earlier incident that i had At Indra Gandhi Airport in New Delhi. A warm welcome from the custome Officer stamping my Indian Passport on Arrival, checking all the pages of my passport and asking me so u have come back after 3 years and then he goes any specific reason for ur arrival . (was 2-3 weeks before Deepawali) . Anyways in the mean time i had a Projector which i got as a Gift from work, that i was carrying with me . This guy turned up to me at the luggage belt asking me for 1000 rupees and i said for what, he goes to clear the electronic stuff i got in my bag . Anyhow i agreed and half an hr latter i realised my hand bag that Air india had put in as check in baggage in the last minute, as there was no in cabin space left when i took my seat. (there were few more people like me there).

Now rather than updating me about the exact situation, these guys made us wait . And when i question them about the guy who was asking me for Money . They disappeared the guy in no time and their reply was he wasnt from our department. so we dont know what he was doing here .

I think With Rise of Anna, India should rise up against corruption and the guy asking for money should be sacked and punished on the spot by the public.


Infact my next trip to india i will keep a Pen Spy Camera on and will record the video and audio . And wish to send it to News channels and Corruption Authority to Have a Answer for it .



kind Regards
