    [Photo Feature]: Brutally Imported

    This is how your brand new private vehicle worth lakhs and crores are imported, docked and handled on Indian shores.

    A special thanks to Ms. Alka Gupta who permitted me to use these images publicly.

    PS: Please let me make this very clear that the people you see in the pics are STUDENTS on industrial visit to the dock. THEY ARE NOT ANY CUSTOM OFFICERS

      disgusting to the core.

      but wouldn't this be applicable to everything that's imported ? official or unofficial ? what can you do when people who work at customs do this ?

            Hold your horses dear. Because of those people you are seeing all this. they are the ones who were there and provided the pics. it very easy to hop on a bike where no body is there to care about or for their security. that's the whole idea of the thread. if they can, anyone can fiddle with your new "would be" car or bike

            edit: the pics are quite fresh but there is a possibility that these are the vehicle which are illegally imported or fail to comply with import norms and hence are confiscated or dumped. quite possible.

              don't only blame custom department for this kind of act,even transport,railway department do this to ur loving vehicle while transporting or shifting.this is there daily routine work yaar.i can provide this kind of pics in more then hundreds but what u can do about this.

              these types employee or labour just sit on these vehicle and click there fotos and said "abe hume kya,hogi kisi saale amirzade ki,jo apne baap ke paise mein aag laga raha hoga".
              NOTHING FOREVER,EXCEPT CHANGE.

              Without opportunity,TALENT is nothing.

                This is quite possible actually. Look at the R1, that seems to be an old model really..!!

                  This is the way everything functions in this country. Look at the filth around us! Look at the scant respect.

                    Why am I not surprised?

                    that's what na. Everything here is done with such disregard and disgust. Why can't people love their jobs! Heck I was at the CST airport police station the other day for some work and i was shocked to find a 3ft. x 1ft. bright red pan stain on the walls. Not to mention the rest of the garbage and crap in that station. When the care-takers of the law work with such a callous attitude can we expect anything greater from the government? Sadly, I gotta admit I still haven't registered to become a voter. But after all this, I'm determined now.

                    Now where's that jaagore.com site?...

                    P.S.: I do not have photo proof of that police station for obvious reasons.

                      @pulsater, @sunny: can we save these pics, edit and cover their faces and then forward as an email??
                      If not please mention that no one should download these pics or atleast not send them around. Innocent 'customs personnel' would have their jobs at stake otherwise!

                        and about forwarding the pics, i don't think that's a good idea as I am not the real person to whom these pics belong

                          Done! No issues at all.


                          OT P.S.: I couldn't resist so I have to say this, that's my favorite R1 model. grew up dreaming about it. It has a clean front end unlike the later ones with the air intakes.

                            These look like pictures of vehicles that have not been cleared by the respective importers for a reasonably long period, subject to which I am not surprised that they have gathered the dust and are not much cared about.
                            If those were fresh imports, they would have mostly been in wooden crates.

                            Btw, doesn't that look like a 99 spec R1?
