A Lebanese national was arrested with USD 10, 000 from the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) on Sunday.
Police said that they arrested El Yaman Muhammad when he was about to board a flight of Nepali Airlines to Dubai last night.
According to police, Muhammad was apprehended with USD 10, 000 during a regular security check.
“We were conducting a regular check at the airport. We recovered USD 10, 000 from his possession. Muhammad could not give a proper answer when he was asked about the source of the money. That is why we arrested him,” a police source said.
Police said that they are looking into the case.
