An unnamed Indian content creator returning from China was recently detained and grilled by Customs officials at Terminal 3 (T3) of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport in Delhi. The incident, which occurred in October 2025, gained significant attention after it was posted on social media.
The incident involved the following details:
The creator reportedly faced an "airport nightmare," experiencing a 1.5-hour-long ordeal with what they described as "rude staff".
The grilling by customs followed a return from China, which has led to speculation that the creator was questioned about products or equipment brought from the country, likely without paying the necessary customs duties.
Though details are limited, officials commonly detain travelers from China and Hong Kong for questioning regarding the undeclared import of goods, particularly high-value items like luxury watches and electronics.
The creator's case is part of a broader increase in customs vigilance at Indian airports, with officials recently intercepting exotic wildlife, gold, and other high-value smuggled items.
