A Tashkent-bound Uzbek national has been arrested at Delhi airport for allegedly trying to smuggle out over a dozen parrots, a customs official said on Wednesday.
Anvarjon Rakhmat Jonov, who was scheduled to board a flight to the Uzbek capital on Tuesday, was intercepted after security personnel detected some suspicious items in his bag during the x-ray scanning at the Terminal-3 of Indira Gandhi International Airport, the official said in a statement.
A total of 13 parrots were recovered from Jonov's bag, the statement said.
The person has been arrested under relevant provisions of the customs act.
