New Delhi: Twenty-two iPhone 6S have been seized by the customs officials from one of the toilets at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in New Delhi, ahead of their launch on Friday.
The phones were detected by the personnel of Central Industrial Security Force, involved in the airport's security, last night. "They were handed over to the customs," said Vinayak Azaad, Additional Commissioner of Customs at IGIA.
The customs officials are looking into the role of a Punjab-based passenger, who had come from Dubai.
He might have kept these devices in for somebody to pick it up, Mr Azaad said.
