Customs commissioner, P M Govande confirms Mid Day, "Yes, he was interrogated but it is a routine thing. Whenever people bring stuff they have to pay duty on it. It was nearly R 1.5 lakh and the interrogation took time because he was carrying a lot of stuff."

Eyewitness from the airport reported that Khan was treated equally as any other passenger. The actor was not even allowed to take a phone call.
