  1. VFS do send passports with EMS tracking. If you pay for courier delivery, you will be given a small plastic pouch after you finalise your application, with instructions to take it into the biometrics room when you are called.

     

    The plastic pouch contains your passport and also a padded envelope with your address on it. This is the padded envelope in which your passport is returned to you.

     

    If you open the plastic pouch you will be able to see the EMS tracking label on the padded envelope. You can make a note of the number or take a photo for later use.

  2. I have cleaned edited the OP, cleaned up the thread and merged the answer supplied on a second topic started in another forum.

     

    Let's hope this gets a response for the poster.

    On a serious note, why was the guy arrested, do the BIB have any good reason to think that it doesn't belong to the guy who claims it's his?  

     

    I would imagine he was arrested so the police could formally ascertain the source of the money.

     

    For example, if the arrested person was a demonstrably wealthy businessman who had a record of paying necessary taxes then the ownership would have some credence (other than the fact that wealthy people don't tend to take the bus).

     

    On the other hand if the arrested person has no reasonable answer regarding the source of the funds then further investigations would need to be made. What if the alleged owner stole the money and there is a very unhappy Thai-Indian person wondering where their stolen money is?

     

    I think on the face of it I would agree with the police's action in detaining the man for questioning. If it's legit it can be sorted out quickly and no real harm done.
