Noted Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan was detained at Delhi International Airport on Sunday evening by revenue intelligence sleuths for allegedly carrying a huge amount of undeclared foreign currency. Khan, who is a hit Bollywood playback singer, arrived on a flight from Karachi and was intercepted by personnel from Directorate of Revenue Intelligence acting on some prior information, official sources said. They said the singer was carrying a huge amount of foreign currency which he did not declare to the immigration authorities. Two other persons accompanying him have also been detained, the sources said. Khan is being questioned and the amount of the money is being ascertained, they said.

And seriously you never know what that money was meant for?
a) it could be either avoiding tax, black money which is common in film Industry (Max possibility)
b) Funding terrorist, less possibility but it is one.

The matter is serious and needs investigation, India has all right to investigate on something which can have connection to terrorist.
 
100,000$.... Thats a lot of bread to be carrying in your suitcase.
 
He can easily earn that from few shows and concerts.. but he made a mistake by not declaring it. Simple yet a big mistake..

'Can' is a very generic term Benny.

We need to be careful. We need to check everything thoroughly.
 
A lot of payment in film Industry is done in form of Black Money. I don't understand sometimes, when people have so much money why they don't want to pay taxes? Katrina, Priyanka was recently raided by IT Sleuths.

According to the Boss of the DRI investigating the matter; the distribution was USD 24,000 in Rahat's luggage and USD 50,000 each with two of his associates.
$ 24,000 in $ 100 bills is not such a big bundle. About half a briefcase worth. :)
