Mumbai: The arrest on Tuesday of a 24-year-old man who was allegedly trying to smuggle Rs 30 lakh in cash to Dubai has led to the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), the National Investigating Agency (NIA), and the state Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) launching a parallel probe.
The accused, Sheikh Haji Miyaz, who resides near Crawford Market, checked in at Jet Airways counter around 1 pm, and was intercepted by the Customs officials on suspicion. On checking his bags, the officials discovered Indian currency worth Rs 30 lakh (as per rules, a passenger is allowed to carry only Rs 15,000 in cash), and Miyaz was arrested on the spot.
