Bribe and Biman
A friend of mine travelled from Chittagong to Abu Dhabi. He, his wife and four kids had their seats reserved for the Biman flight BG027, but had to reschedule his flight due to a family problem. He approached the counter at Chittagong for a flight. The man at the counter said there was NO SEAT. However, he demanded a heavy amount, which came down to Tk 9,000 after negotiations. Seats were given to them after payment of the money!
