SVP International Airport Employees ask for Bribes
My mom arrived at the SVP Airport on Air India Flight AI 0144 from Newark, NJ, USA and the customs officer asked her for USD 500.00, since she hasn't been to India in 20 years! The man proceeded to tell her that if she didn't pay it was going to take 2 to 3 hours to process her, and that she will have to talk to his supervisor and the supervisor was going to ask for a lot more than USD 500.00.
My mom told the man that she didn't have any money, and that she is going to wait, but he went outside the airport to find who was picking her up and told them that he will not let her go until he was paid USD 500.00.
This employee held my mom hostage, until he got his money. I could not believe what my mom was telling me.
My cousin negotiated with the man and told him all they could pay was USD 100.00, so that they would let her go and the man agreed.
My mom was scared, violated, embarrassed, and no one should be treated this way!
