Men arrested hiding loris in underwear at Delhi airport (BBC) [View all]
Three men have been arrested in Delhi for trying to board a flight with small primates hidden in their underwear.
Two of the men were found with slender lorises concealed in pouches in their briefs, a customs official at Indira Ghandi International Airport told the BBC.
The men were transit passengers, en route to Dubai from Bangkok.
The animals were uncovered when security guards noticed a bulge in their underwear during a frisk.
The Press Trust of India reported that one of the lorises was 7in (17.8cm) in length.
