An Afghan woman has been apprehended at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) here for allegedly smuggling in five bags of imported cigarettes.
The incident was reported on Friday when intelligence sleuths of CISF in civil clothes spotted the suspicious behaviour of the woman, identified as A Khanjari, arriving from Kabul.
The woman was seen carrying five big bags and soon after landing she entered the washroom in the arrival terminal and came out after changing her clothes, a senior official said.
She was apprehended on suspicion, he said, and later on during frisking, five bags full of foreign brand cigarettes were recovered from her.
The woman was later handed over to Customs authorities as the case pertains to payment of duty and customs charges on imported goods, he said.
