TomTop guys wanted me to check with my local post office. When i try to get in touch with my local post office, they say that they are facing some technical issues due to which they aren't able to pull up any details.

It is almost 2 months now. Any suggestions?

Thanks in Advance...

What was the cargo, BTW?

It is a SmartWatch worth $128.
It says held by customs on 2017-12-28 12:49, But the Bangalore Sub Fgn post is updated post that at 13:33 on the same day.
Does it make any difference?

Since it's a smartwatch, it shouldn't particularly be a problem. If the customs office is not far from where you live, you may pay them a visit.
It would be much better if you could get hold of the bill when you go to the office. Maybe show the actual amount and pay the necessary duty( which would be around 10+28=~38%)

I ordered mijia 4k action camera from banggood. From 30th decemeber its being held by customs. Could action camera be a problem?

1 month is a really long time. Contact customs ASAP.
