October 14, 2015 01:44

Twenty-two iPhone 6S have been seized by the customs officials from one of the toilets at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, ahead of their launch on Friday.

The phones were detected by the personnel of Central Industrial Security Force, involved in the airport's security, last night. "They were handed over to the customs," said Vinayak Azaad, Additional Commissioner of Customs at IGIA.

The customs officials are looking into the role of a Punjab-based passenger, who had come from Dubai.

He might have kept these devices in for somebody to pick it up, Azaad said.

The US-based tech giant Apple will unveil its latest iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus in India on October 16.
