I am very sorry for the agony and pain you have gone through.This issue should be taken to higher officials and the responsible persons should be suspended immediately.I know when we go to india after a long time we go we lot of eagerness to meetour parents and relatives.This official has made that a nightmare.Some action should be taken on this so it is not repeated in future.
If we agree that the officials did their rightful duty where it go for the Frenchman?? The usual suckups thats what its all about . Even if the parents were wrong so were the officials if they have to adhere to their duties adhere in ways to all dont be partial and show that indian are dying for forieng entry. It's a shameful that there are people supoorting this i guess they too belong to that class,else how would they defend them.
indain immigration officials are pathetic.People not travelling abroad don't realise this.I am an Indian citzen and was given a hard time because my signature didn't match the one on some other form.I forgot to put a dot on a 'I'.They look down upon you and always talk with a sneer on their face.I am not suprised to read this article at all.
I am sorry for your bitter experince. I had a similar problem with coustoms oficer in Mumbai couple of years back. People over there are more interested in making money(illegal) rather than helping out. I traveled all the way from US to India and stoped at few places.I never felt insecured through out my journey untill i reached Mumbai.No one is ready to help you out or take accountability for there mistakes. I have to run around to report lost laugage and have to stay one day in mumbai. Finally i lost hope and left to Hyderabad. After few days my laugage was sent to home but they have taken things from it. After that day i have decided never to land in Mumbai.
People loose interest in returning to there home land when they face situations like this. Immigration officials should have be little bit considereate in Shriwardhanka case.
I have had a similar experience on my way back from Bangalore to Newark. I had to change my flight in Mumbai. My baggage was checked in at Bangalore.
After Security check when I was about to board the flight, the security personnel asked me and all the passengers for that matter to handover the carry baggage as we are not supposed to carry in the flight. I was surprised. When I questioned, the officer in charge told me that I will have to miss the flight and go stay back if I disobey. I felt if I was in some DICTATOR Land. Unless we let go these inhuman officials who are senseless, we are going to suffer in this democratic country.
Accept your stupid mistake Vijay. You can blame only yourself for this stupid thing. You go to any country without visa. You will get the same treatment.
Stop blaming India. You look idiot when you blame your own roots.
