I am shocked that customs department @BIAL took bribe

Reported on January 21, 2012 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #2926

Hi,

I bought a 32inch LED TV @Bangkok and brought it to India.

I heard from customs officer that 32inch LED TV is chargeable(but not LCD TV) and asked me to pay 1500 Rs.

I removed money from my purse and was about to handover to the officer.

Customs officer then told me to keep money on his table and LEAVE. I thought of not arguing with him further(Thinking he may not allow me take TV home if I don't listen to him).

At last I realized that I paid bribe because he didn't give me any payment receipt for amount I kept on his table.

What is your reaction after reading this report?
