Hi Karl, I was in India last week, catching a 1AC sleeper from Tundla Junction to Varanasi. On the platform I encountered a porter who sought out the first class passengers to be able to show them where their carriage would stop on the platform. He carried my bag fit me about 50 metres and then stayed in my vicinity to make sure i got on the right carriage. As the train came in he asked for 300 Rs....basically to tell me to stand where I already knew I'd need to get on. This is another scam to watch out for....I think he was only interested in the first class passengers because he thought they'd have money to pay him....

I was dragged At Pune Railway Station, a CRPF police official demanded a bribe, resorting to manhandling when I refused. I mentioned having influential contacts, prompting them to reconsider. Realizing potential consequences, they eventually let me go. This incident underscores the struggle against corruption and the need to stand firm in such situations.
