Scam at Delhi airport? Couple alleges passports scanned at duty-free, airport responds

An Indian couple based in the United States has alleged that staff at a duty-free shop at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport scanned the passports of their entire family even though only one member had made a purchase. The couple questioned why the passports of family members who had not bought anything were scanned and raised concerns about possible misuse of their personal information.

Pooja Tomarr Sikarwar shared an Instagram video yesterday in which she described her experience at Terminal 3. She said one member of the family purchased a bottle of liquor from a duty-free outlet, after which staff proceeded to scan the passports of other family members as well.
