Pandey said that around 2.30 am the CISF personnel deployed on pre-embarkation security checks of the International Security Hold area of Terminal 3 of IGI Airport when officials noticed double concealment of currency notes in a bag.
“On further probe, officials noticed newly packed bedsheets in the bag and when opened, saw US dollars worth Rs 2.52 crore ingeniously concealed inside bedsheets,” said the officer, adding that the currency notes and bedsheets were made of organic material making it difficult to detect them through machines.
