When the officer on duty asked him if he possessed any luggage with him, Khan answered in the affirmative. The officer then told him to clear the green channel with his luggage.

At the time of screening his baggage, one electric kettle worth Rs 5000 was found. Since this amount does not exceed the permissible limit drawn by authorities, no duty charges were imposed.

"When the officer on duty asked Khan about his luggage, he said it is behind and so the officer asked him to clear the airport along with his baggage," a customs official told this newspaper.
