On his arrival at the Benazir Bhutto airport in Islamabad, the Khan maintained that the money obtained from him was confiscated over ignorance about customs laws and criminal charges were not filed against him.
He said, throughout the ordeal Pakistani authorities, especially Interior Minister Rehman Malik and the Pakistani High Commission were very forthcoming in providing him help.
