Fake customs officials swindle man of Rs 4.15 lakh outside Delhi airport
New Delhi (PTI): A 53-year-old man, who works as a labourer in Saudi Arabia, was allegedly cheated of more than Rs 4 lakh in foreign currency outside the Indira Gandhi International Airport here by two persons posing as Customs department officials, police said Tuesday.
According to the FIR, Mohammad Suleman, a native of Rajasthan's Ajmer, landed at the Delhi airport early on Sunday morning from Saudi Arabia.
Outside the airport, the two accused, posing as customs officials, led Suleman to the parking area. On the way, they took his passport and belongings. They then took the victim to Mahipalpur in a car being driven by another person, the complaint stated.
The accused stopped the car in an isolated area, and snatched his mobile phone, Saudi Riyad 19,000 (valued at Rs 4.15 lakh) and Rs 2,000 in Indian currency. They asked him where he got the mobile phone and the foreign currency, a police official said.
The accused then forced the victim to step out of the car and sped away while telling that they would return with their senior officer, the police official said.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
