While Hardik Pandya was making the declaration of the imported goods bought, it was found that the price of the watches, as per bills submitted, didn’t match the actual value, which is believed to be much more
India all-rounder Hardik Pandya on November 16 dismissed reports of custom officials at Mumbai airport seizing his luxury watches, saying that only one watch worth ₹1.5 crore had been taken for “proper valuation” after he “voluntarily declared” the items brought by him.
The out-of-favour India all-rounder, who was returning from Dubai after an ordinary outing in the T20 World Cup, which led to his omission from the squad for the T20 series against New Zealand, refuted reports that claimed that the two wrist watches worth ₹5 crore were seized from him by the customs department.
While he was making the declaration of the imported goods bought, it was found that the price of the watches, as per bills submitted, didn’t match the actual value, which is believed to be much more.
