The personnel on duty noticed suspicious images of the buttons, which were kept in the passenger’s bag, on the X-ray scanner monitor and decided to probe further, the officials said.

The passenger was supposed to take a SpiceJet flight to Dubai, a senior officer said.

A cache of 1,85,500 Saudi Riyals valued at Rs 41 lakh and kept neatly folded in square shape inside buttons used in lehengas worn by women was recovered from the man, he said.
