    Smugglers are born with innovative ideas.

    May be he bought GBP by making use of black money in India and was taking GBP to Dubai to purchase gold and bring the same to India.

    Bad luck losing both at entry and exit points.

    I believe foreign exchange is governed by a rule called Foreign Exchange Management Act, which prohibits taking foreign exchange beyond a limit out of the country. The beyond a limit is governed by the Authorized Dealers of Foreign Exchange. For a person who can go online, i think it would be easier to read the guidelines.
