An unclaimed bag containing over Rs 2.10 lakh in Indian and foreign currencies sent security officials at Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) into a tizzy briefly, hours before a man reclaimed it saying he had "forgotten" it there.
Officials said the incident was reported from the arrival area of the terminal-III last night around 8 o'clock when a CISF jawan detected the unattended bag lying near a pillar.
Soon after, they said, CISF called in the bomb disposal and detection teams for anti-sabotage checks on the bag and assorted currencies worth over Rs 2.10 lakh-- including notes like Indian Rupee, Euro, Thai, Bhutanese, Indonesian, Hong Kong, China, Singaporean and Canada -- were recovered.
