Hi My wife and 2 kids traveled from london to chennai for the first…

Reported on July 28, 2014 from Chennai , Tamil Nadu  ι Report #42380

Hi
My wife and 2 kids traveled from london to chennai for the first time with british passport. As it was first time with british passport, my wife asked one of the officers who had an Id card of airport authority about the right forms to be filled in for immigration. He volunteered for filling up the forms on behalf of my wife, though she refused. As the 2 kids was tired out of 12 hrs of journey, she thought of taking the help. At the end, that officer filled up the forms and started demanding for money. My wife said, "I dont have any money". He demanded again, "Check all your bags, money will be there". As we was very tired and with kids crying, she gave the only note she had with her i.e., Rs.500 note. She came by EK542 from Dubai to Chennai (Connecting flight from London). Unfotunately she couldnt note down the name of the officer but he was having valid airport authority tag and in formal dress. I would like to know how to fight or say No to bribe with these corrupt officers.

What is your reaction after reading this report?
