New Delh: A 42-year-old man travelling to Bahrain has been arrested at the Delhi airport for allegedly carrying 45 kg of prohibited wooden logs in his baggage, a senior official said Thursday.

He said Mohammed H Rehman of Assam was intercepted by the CISF security personnel at the Indira Gandhi International Airport and a search of his bags led to the recovery of 'agarwood', a wood used in making incense and perfume.

The wood is banned for export under the Wildlife Act, he said.
