Customs rapped for holding man's passport at Mumbai airport

The sessions court on Thursday pulled up the Customs department for intimidating a Kenyan national who had completed his sentence for carrying gold in his luggage.

Some officers from the Customs department had held the passport of accused Teddy Muthee, 26, even after he completed his sentence for failing to pay for the undeclared valuables at the Mumbai airport.

The court pulled up the Customs department for the action and asked them to return Muthee's passport.

Muthee was detained by the customs officers on March 23, 2016, based on a tip-off that he was carrying narcotics. He was instead found to be in possession 60 gold biscuits worth Rs 2.24 crore.
