I was enroute from USA -> Egypt -> India. I was carrying my company laptop and a old personal laptop which was about 6 years old. My return ticket was from Chennai. I was stopped by the customs officer and he started complaning about the second laptop. I have asked him if they could add an entry in my passport and that I will be taking it back to USA on my way back. They did not agree. As I was not carrying anything, i told them the allowed allowance should be able to cover. They did not heed and started asking for 20,000 rupees, at which point i thought of breaking it dump it in trash. However after flying for long hours, i did not have patience and they win y taking 20$ from me. It was such a shame to be back home to start with scum bags feeding on stray.
