My story begins here. This day, I moved from US to India and started paying bribes. This is the first bribe I paid in India.
I was bringing 5 gold biscuits of 30 grams each. I put it in the carry-on luggage and the metal detector detected the same. I was ready to pay the due taxes on the gold but the duty officer suggested me to give half the cost to him direct. I was reluctant but he threatened me that he will seize the gold as it is not mentioned in the customs form. He was happy when I paid $80.
