I am an indian student studying in london i went to hyderabad for a visit.i have carried two laptops one in my main lugguage which is old and one in my hand lugguage .I have permission to carry two laptops .the custams officer stopped me and issued a fine for carrying two laptops firstly he charged me ten thousand , i said i dont have money i told i can pay two thousand because i was supposed to travel to other destination i requested him but he dint listen and reduced my fine to Rs.6000.00.he asked me to pay Rs 200.00 as the customs duty at the counter and asked me keep remaing Rs. 4000.00 in my pass port and get back to him.so i paid 2000.00 as customs duty,the remaing four thousand i kept in my passport and returned to him.He pretended that as if he is checking my passport and took Rs 4000.00. This is done in the presence of all other collegues and they are watching whats going on. And at last he said that he reduced the fine because it is festival season and gave concession.
shamshab is a international airport many foreigners will be visiting our nation and if they repeat the same to them ,how bad they think about our nation.
please try to avoid this in atleast airports as they are first barrier to the nation and they give first impression about the nation.
