Pune builder held at Mumbai airport

MUMBAI: A prominent builder from Pune was being interrogated by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) sleuths on charges of trying to sneak in foreign currency and other valuables at the International airport here, sources said on Sunday.

Avinansh Bhosale, who arrived here on Saturday night from London, was being interrogated by a DRI team after he failed to declare the goods, the department sources said.

Bhosale, who owns a five-star hotel in Pune, is known for his palatial bungalow there and use of a Beel helicopter, for which he has a helipad at the bungalow.

He was in the news last year after reports that Hollywood star Angelina Jolie would be staying at his bungalow during the shooting of the film A Mighty Heart.
