I am a cancer patient and returned from Atlanta after my treatment. I was overwhelmed and tired by the long journey since I choose the worst flight i.e. **********. I was travelling alone with some luggage and was stopped by customs officer - Vishwas S. ************ - though I was carrying a used camera, he threatened me to impose fines of lakhs of ruppees. I was not aware of rules, I got scared, he asked me to pay a bribe of $150. I said I am a cancer patient and this is the only money I have, he said he does not care about it, he just wants the money. I had to pay the bribe since I was dead tired and did not have courage to raise voice.
