They said Amir was seen taking pictures of the minister, who left for New Delhi Sunday, using his camera.
Amir had confirmed first-class tickets to Delhi and from there to Dubai. Initial probe revealed that Amir was one among the two persons detained last month by CISF personnel for reportedly giving contradicting replies at the airport.

The duo reportedly gave contradictory replies when CISF sought an explanation for cancelling their journey at the last minute.
