Source: Times Now - "Nagaland Home Minister was arrested at Kathmandu airport on Wednesday (June 29). Imkong L Imchen was reportedly carrying a suitcase full of rupee notes of 500-1000 denomination. The Nagaland Home Minister was arrested and put under detention by Kathmandu international airport security agencies as he was found to be carrying at least one suitcase full of currency wads in the denomination of Rs 500-1000. Both these denominations have been banned in Nepal on the request of Government of India security agencies as a large number of counterfeit Indian notes are believed to be regularly smuggled into India through Nepal. The Minister when quizzed reportedly could not explain why he was carrying the currency in such large amounts and whether he had obtained permission to carry the notes. His detention has been conveyed duly to the Home Ministry and the Ministry of External Affairs."
