New Delhi: An African man has been apprehended at the Delhi airport for allegedly trying to smuggle US $ 34,500 by hiding them in his socks, officials said Friday.
T N Mwaisemba, a Malawian national, was detected with the huge foreign currency during frisking by the CISF personnel while he was on his way to take a flight to Dubai, the officials said.
A total of US $ 34,500, which is over Rs 23.24 lakh, was found concealed in the socks that the man was wearing, they said.
He has been handed over to the customs authorities at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport along with the seized currency as the passenger could not produce supporting documents for carrying the huge cash, they added.
