In a recent incident at Hyderabad Airport, a man impersonating a customs officer defrauded a local businessman of ₹75,000.

The unsuspecting businessman, lured by the deal, paid the amount but soon realized he had been duped when the fraudster disappeared.

This incident highlights the growing concern over scams at airports, where criminals often exploit travelers' lack of awareness. Passengers are advised to exercise caution and verify the identity of officials before engaging in any transactions.
