New Delhi: A Dubai-bound man has been apprehended at the airport here today for allegedly trying to smuggle over Rs 10.97 lakh worth of foreign currency, CISF officials said.
Fahad Mohammed was intercepted by CISF personnel after they found that he was allegedly carrying some stuff under his clothes, they said.
