One
gentleman, identified as jattzp on youtube, was to fly from Amritsar to
London via New Delhi. He faced some difficulty at New Delhi Airport
regarding the alcohol bottle he says he had purchased at Duty Free Shop
at Amritsar Airport. He recorded the happenings at the New Delhi Airport
and has uploaded it on youtube. He has added a lengthy narration, a
long story of how he felt that the police - CISF officers were trying to
steal his bottle of whiskey. He says he had his wife, 2 children (under
age of 4 years) and his parents with him and all had to face trouble
due to bad treatment by CISF.
There
has be some reason for the gentlemen jattzp having done so much and it
looks like his hurt and anger is still on the boil. The behaviour of the
policemen appearing in the video is strange in the fact that they
allowed this gentleman to record it on his phone and they are also
looking sheepish in it.
I
happened to see this youtube video and was unhappy to see the abusive
comments appearing there. I tried to reason with this gent known as
jattzp but he first abused me, then gave some explanation in somewhat
decent language but again reverted back to rudeness the next time.
Please see it here.
My Comment : Not to defend rude behaviour but this
man travels with 2 young kids (babies), wife and old parents and yet he
buys booze and does not keep the receipt handy, which could have avoided
some discomfort. Guys, do not abuse. India is beautiful and graceful.
jattzp commented like this : your Gasti mom put it inside and
sealed that's whst they do on Indisn airports...duty free is duty free
anyway. fly and buy once before commenting
To this I wrote back : This shows your ugly attitude. You are rude and abusive yourself.
Meanwhile
I had made another comment : Guys, please do not abuse. No airport will
allow unsealed liquid bottle (that too alcohol) in cabin baggage. It is
just not permitted anywhere. There seems to be no basis or any
justification for the comment that police tried to steal the bottle. If
you are not allowed to take something on board, then it will remain on
ground. India is beautiful. Welcome.
After a while, I also added this comment : Please
do not abuse India. Kindly see this video on youtube, "Border Security
Australia 2011 Oversmart Indian couple". See how the Indian origin
doctor and his wife had to pay fine for carrying home cooked food items.
India is graceful and beautiful. Welcome.
At this point jattzp writes back : mr ............ bottle is sealed. Duty free
is inside the airport and is open only for flights going abroad.
Domestic Flight passengers in India are not allowed to buy duty free as
they see your boarding cards and take copy of that and your passport to
sell it to you. we bought that bottle on 4 passports. if you have been
to Delhi airport and bought alcohol then you might know they put
receipt in the bag and seal your bag from the top. customs if i have to
pay i will pay in UK on arrival but that bottle was in allowed limit
anyway. as i said before they stole bottles in front of me and all were
duty free bottles. Thanks
Seeing his somewhat sober response, I wrote like this : Now
you are being decent. Note that I am as old as your father, and you
abuse my mom. She is over 85. Why did you use abusive words ? It can be
seen that you faced some trouble but part of it was due to your own
mistakes and due to not being well prepared for the journey.The day you
can realise this, you will yourself delete this video. Next time,
better not to buy booze or at least keep a scan of the receipt on your
phone. If you are still angry and hurt, write to CISF HQs, New Delhi.
God Bless you.
Meanwhile, someone commented like this : All those brainless bastards
commenting on airport security in India. These same guys who quitely
abide by security protocol in a foreign country tries to be smart in
India. To carry a liquid content it must be in a sealed pack and not as
shown here.
At this
point, jattzp again went back to his rude manners, and said like this :
.....(my name).....easy to preach others on YouTube. have you ever
confronted any policeman for your Right in India?
My reply : Yes my dear, I live in India and face all that comes my way and you know,
all is not well all the time, but I will not abuse or ridicule my
country on internet. One can see it easily that you are an unhappy soul.
It is not preaching. Thank your stars that they did not arrest you for
recording it.
He came back with this : if you read description it states i asked for permission and the three
star guy said what will you do by putting on youtube. but it did work.
lot of guys got confidence to record any kind if corruption happening
over there. Now, airport personnel better as well as i visited in May
this year. Therefore, i decided to keep it on. cheers!
look at comments how many people faced corruption on airports over there.
its over 5 years i m waiting for the reply of my complaint to cisf?
anyeays, Sokhs waiting for justice for last 31 years in that great
democratic country..so my wait is nothing in comparison to them. do you
call ridicule if someone expose corrupt personnel???
It
is strange that though the incident relates to 2010 but he is still so
unhappy about it, and has not yet been able to get out of it. I feel
pity for the guy, but it is also to be seen that did not even have the
decency of saying "sorry" for having used abusive words.
My
last comment : My dear jattzp, I can see that you will not do all
this without having some good reason. It looks like you faced some
serious trouble that has made you so angry. I can not say if the police
behaved well or not. You would know it better. See, as you first used
abusive words and later you did not even show the decency of saying
sorry for using abusive words, in the same manner, these policemen are
also human beings like you, full of ego and sometimes having petty
greed. My concern is that because of few policemen, all and sundry
should not get a chance to abuse 'India'.
I have sent the link to this vedio and the entire conversation to CISF HQs, on the mailing ids of their 4 senior officers as seen on their official website, but have not received any response as yet.
