Bipasha Basu Detained at Mumbai Airport
on May 26, 2011
Bipasha Basu was detained at Mumbai international airport today afternoon for carrying excess baggage. However, Bipsha was released later when she agreed to pay extra tax. Sources say that Bipsha Basu was detained at the Mumbai international airport for about half-an-hour while she was returning from Mumbai. Ask Bipsha Basu on this and she replies, “Its a routine check and several others were also being checked in the same way”.
Reports further say that Bipsha Basu paid around 12000 as tax against Rs.12,000 as tax against some personal goods but she refused to disclose those items. And that's not all, as Bipsha went on to hail the customs department saying that "I think the Customs is doing an excellent job." Recently, Bollywood actress Minissha Lamba was detained at the Mumbai airport (while she was returning from the Cannes International Films Festival) for around 16 hours by the customs officials for carrying undeclared jewelery worth nearly Rs.50 lakh.
