According to the report by ABP, the incident happened when Hardik was returning from Dubai after playing in the T20 World Cup. According to the report, the stylish Indian cricketer could not produce the invoices for the watches when asked by the custom officers at the Mumbai airport.

The cricketer did not have invoices for the watches, nor had he declared these watches as customs items. As a consequence, the customs officials confiscated his watches.

Earlier last year, Mumbai Indians all-rounder & elder brother of Hardik, Krunal Pandya was stopped and questioned by Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) personnel at the Mumbai International Airport after he returned back from IPL 2020.
