A father and son were arrested by customs officials for allegedly trying to smuggle out foreign currency worth Rs 68 lakh at Delhi airport, an official statement said on Wednesday.
While the father was trying to hide the currency in his hand-baggage, a significant amount of forex was hidden by his son in rectum.
