Two minors were apprehended with about `2 lakh cash, which they had allegedly picked from their grandmother’s house, by CISF personnel at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) on Wednesday night.
CISF personnel found that the duo, 12 and 15 years old, had arrived from Imphal and wanted to travel to the US but had no valid documents.
"The boys were not accompanied by any guardian. Subsequently, CISF surveillance staff verified the credentials of both of them by calling at their home after taking telephone numbers from them and came to know that both boys came from Imphal without informing their parents," they said. It was also found that a missing complaint had been lodged for the two in a local police station in Imphal in Manipur few days back. "Some clothes, books and a cash of `1.94 lakh was recovered from their bag. A relative of the two, also a senior police official in Manipur, told security personnel the money was apparently taken by the boys from their grandmother's house without informing anyone," the officials said.
