A 34-year-old man has been taken into custody for questioning after he was seen taking pictures of Finance Minister P Chidambaram at the airport in Chennai, airport sources said on Wednesday.

They said Amir was seen taking pictures of the minister, who left for New Delhi yesterday, using his camera. Amir had confirmed first-class tickets to Delhi and from there to Dubai.

Initial probe revealed that Amir was one among two persons detained last month by CISF personnel for reportedly giving contradicting replies at the airport.

Earlier, Amir along with Mansoor, hailing from Kerala, were detained after they wanted to get off the Dreamliner aircraft ahead of its flight to Delhi. The duo reportedly gave contradictory replies when CISF sought an explanation for cancelling their journey at the last minute.

An inquiry is underway as to why he opted for a long trip to Dubai when there are direct flights available from Thiruvanathapuram and Kochi respectively to Dubai, they said.

High security areas display:taking photograph strictly prohibited.Chidambarm could well wear a tag that taking his photograph prohibited.How it should be displayed on his sacred person,a top designer could be given the task.It could well be trend setter for our precious VVIP rulers.

Why the Police over reacting on the matter of Mr. Chidambaram and his son, Firstly they have arrested Ravi for commenting on Face book, knowing the fact that he has just 5 followers And now for taking Photo of Chidambaram, knowing the fact that people take the snaps of Ministers and celebrities because of excitement. The Q is%u2026. Police really doing their Job or just trying to prove the Loyalty to Chidambaram & Co...?
