American paid a bribe to get on flight to ********** Lanka
I was in Bangalore to fly to ********** Lanka in order to keep my India Visa current. I was 3 days over the date but had notified the police station in the area where I had been staying to let them know I would be late. I did not receive any documents from the Police Station. The young man at the counter was not going to let me through with a boarding pass saying I would have to drive somewhere to get a resident permit. Of course my plane was due to leave in 30 minutes, my friend had dropped me at the airport so I was alone. The young man wanted American dollars but I explained I had been staying in India and only had rupees. I had to pay him 1500 rupees to get the boarding pass. I was thoroughly disgusted.
