Watch: Foreign Currency Hidden Inside Peanuts, Marie Biscuit Packets

One note is rolled into a cylindrical shape, tied with a thread so that it doesn't unfurl. The entire thing is inserted inside a peanut shell. One peanut contains one such note.

New Delhi: Unopened packets of Marie biscuits worth of Rs 10, but on opening it’s found that all biscuits are hollow from inside to accommodate rolls of foreign currencies. The videos posted by CISF are mindboggling as to what ‘novel’ ideas smugglers are up to. But more startling is the fact that CISF raided these apparently innocent objects from a 25-year-old man, Murad Ali, at T-3 of Indira Gandhi Internation Airport as he, along with his biscuits, meatballs and peanuts, was all set to fly to Dubai.

Who would not want such biscuits. #CISF personnel’s eyes too caught of this. Kabhi kabhi Police bhi do kadam aage rahti hai 😎
