In this episode, Ravi Kapoor, a former IRS officer, reveals how suspicious passengers are actually picked at airports, why gold is the most smuggled item, and how drugs often slip through undetected unless you're lucky or have strong intelligence. He shares shocking stories, from gold hidden inside ice machines to ingested drug pellets that sometimes burst and kill the carrier.
We talk about corruption inside the system, how it begins, where it thrives (especially in land dealings), and why even honest businessmen fear customs officers. Ravi also opens up about his decision to never give in to bribes, what a typical raid looks like, how informants are rewarded, and how jealousy often leads to major busts.
In the last segment, we discuss fake invoices and hawala, the real powers of an IRS officer, and why officers sometimes raid politicians at their own risk. We also get into the deeper questions, why Indians are obsessed with UPSC, whether today’s youth are more ethical, and the real reason so many are leaving India.
