I arrived from Hong Kong by Jet Airways flight, and the officer on duty randomly asked me to step aside from the green channel where I was passing and screening my baggage. He saw an iPhone with me and insisted that I have purchased it new, whereas the trust being that it was ant new at all. It was purchased in last November 2010. However due to my I'll health I had to ask him what he wanted to which he replied 10,000/- inr and haggled to 5000. I asked him where is it to be paid and he sent a olive constable with me in a room close to the exit and asked me to give the money to the police constable on his behalf. As I was in bad health I decided not to argue then but pay else he would make me wait there for god know how many more hours and my health would further worsen.
