A 25-year-old Indian flight attendant, Devshi Kulshreshtha, has been arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle nearly $500,000 out of the country. Acting on a tip-off, Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) officials intercepted a Jet Airways flight leaving Delhi for Hong Kong on January 8. They searched Kulshreshtha‘s luggage and found wads of $100 bills, which had been tucked under cosmetics and shoes. The notes had been wrapped in foil to evade the x-ray security scan. Kulshreshtha was allegedly working with New Delhi resident Amit Malhotra, who ran a currency smuggling network.
