Imran
Khan
didn't
quite
receive
the
welcome
that
he
was
expecting
when
he
returned
from
New
York
a
couple
of
days
ago
after
promoting
his
upcoming
film
Break
Ke
Baad.
On
his
arrival
at
the
Mumbai
International
Airport,
Imran
was
stopped
by
the
Customs
authorities
over
a
small
toy
helicopter
he
was
carrying.
Apparently,
Imran
had
got
himself
a
toy
helicopter
from
New
York
that
works
on
Wi-Fi.
Little
did
the
actor
know
that
the
customs
authorities
in
Mumbai
would
have
an
objection
to
it.
The
officials
demanded
that
Imran
get
permission
from
the
Telecom
Department
for
possessing
such
a
toy.
Restrictions
have
been
imposed
on
import
of
aero
models
that
run
on
certain
radio
bandwidths
because
of
their
possible
interference
with
the
communication
networks
of
security
agencies.
The
officials
confiscated
the
toy
on
the
grounds
of
obtaining
a
clarification
from
the
telecom
department.
Imran
tried
to
reason
with
the
authorities,
but
they
asked
him
to
seek
permission
from
the
telecom
department
and
then
take
the
toy.
Like
a
good
law
abiding
citizen,
Imran
had
no
choice
but
to
leave
his
toy
helicopter
behind.
The
actor
plans
to
now
seek
the
required
approval
/permission
and
claim
back
his
toy.
