The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has apprehended two Chinese nationals with 80 brand new smartphones at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport on Friday.
According to a senior CISF official, the duo identified as Yin Gaoyang and Fangao Jhao were intercepted around 5:30 am after they landed at the IGI airport from Beijing.
“The two passengers had 80 new smartphones of Chinese brands Vivo and Honor in their baggage and the cache was recovered when their bags were being checked as they were supposed to take a connecting flight to Udaipur,” said the senior CISF official.
“As the passengers had no documents for carrying so many costly phones, they were handed over to the Customs authorities for further investigation,” the official added.
