Saudi riyals worth over Rs 35 lakh have been seized from two passengers at the Pune International Airport, a Customs official said Thursday.
The duo were about to board a SpiceJet flight to Dubai Tuesday when their baggage was searched and the currency was found.
"Both claimed it did not belong to them but was given to them for handing over to somebody in Dubai," the official said.
Their statements were recorded and further probe was on, said the official.
