Gold smuggling: Airlines, govt staff on the radar

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.
