Mangaluru, Aug 19: The CISF officials at Mangaluru International Airport have detained a man on Monday, who was trying to smuggle 10,000 US dollars illegally to Dubai.

The man is identified as Sashank Baisani Gupta, a resident of Bengaluru.

On Monday, August 19, Sashank arrived to Mangaluru International Airport to travel to Dubai by SpiceJet SG – 59, scheduled to leave at 10 am.

While the CISF officials frisked him, they found that he possessed US currency and he had not declared the same. They found 51 notes of face value of US $ 100 in his pocket. He had hidden another bundle of notes in his handbag. The officials seized the currency as well as detained Gupta.

Further investigations are being conducted.

    One can legally take US$10k out after declaring the same to customs. He has to tell the source of the funds. If he would have had just US$9900, he need not even declare.

    Reasons for not declaring. (a) Got exchange from non-official routes that did not involve receipts. (b) Exchanged black money to US$. (c) Hawala related business.

    What I understand is that hard currency worth US $5,000 can be taken out of the country without declaring. Plus another US $5,000 worth can be taken by way of negotiable instrument. It is recommended that a sign explaining the rules should be displayed at the entrance of the Airport. This limit was set about 40 years ago. Now a days $5000.00 hardly enough to cover the expenses. Credit cards companies are charging 3% cash advance fee and have no guarantee of accepting it at the petty shops/eateries. It is time that government should consider increasing the limit. BTW, it is Custom department's call, why the CIFS is involved in strip search.

    No he is a nice guy because he is Baisani Gupta.
    Gaddar koi religion nahin hain.
    Gaddar ka koi deah nahin hain.
    Gaddar deshbhakth nahin hain.

    That's why all Gaddars are settled in UK.
    But majority of them are Gujjus thats why kaaldhan vapas lana mushkil hi nahin lekin namunkin hain.
