However, he continued to stay in the general manager's office and sought information about customs activities in the airport claiming that he was there chasing a case.
Some of the officials in the airport started suspecting him as no information about his arrival had come from the higher authorities.
They started cross-checking and came to know that there was no officer in RAW by the name of Aniket Das.
He was arrested by the airport police late last night.
