The Customs department at Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport has issued a high alert regarding a fraud racket. Impostors, posing as Customs officials, are targeting citizens, particularly those from economically weaker sections, through phone calls and social media. They falsely claim a passenger is detained and demand immediate payment to resolve the issue, threatening jail time. Officials emphasize that Customs never demands payment via phone or personal accounts, directing all transactions through authorized channels.
