The Air Intelligence Unit (AIU) had increased its vigilance at the Mumbai airport, following a sudden surge in iPhone 7 and 7 Plus smuggling since September. The latest arrest was of a man, who had 124 iPhones in his possession, which were neatly concealed in a plastic sack, stored inside his luggage. 67 latest iPhones and 57 previous generation ones were part of the consignment.
