Customs and Security Staff exchange blows in Mumbai

IT is reported that Customs officers and staff of a private security agency came to blows in Mumbai Air Cargo Complex as an Additional Commissioner's car was stopped by the security guard.

EGO more than security is the issue in such situations. Customs officers feel bad when security staff stop them in their own fiefdom - the Customs areas.And the Security Staff get a lot of kicks when they stop high-profile Customs officers.

Kiran Bedi once stopped PV Narasimha Rao because he did not have a pass - everybody knew who PV Narasimha Rao was - but he didn't slap her!
