The Morning Standard
|July 14, 2023
THREE passengers from Sharjah, after arriving in Surat by Air Indian Express Flight No IX172 last Friday, headed straight to the men's toilet at the arrival lounge close to the immigration counter. Little did they realise that they were being watched.
Searches conducted by the officials of Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) on the three following specific tip-off, led to the recovery of 43.5 kg of gold concealed in their hand baggage in the form of paste.
Further questioning of the three passengers revealed that the gold was concealed for being smuggled into India with the help of some officials posted at the Surat International Airport. "The plan was to exchange the gold in a toilet located next to the immigration to evade screening and examination by authorities," one of the arrested revealed.
