Hyderabad(Telangana):Customs officials seize3.14 kgs of gold worth Rs. 1.65 crore gold in Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad, Hyderabad. This was possible because the DRI officials have received specific information that gold was being illegally transported from Dubai and hence they put up surveillance at the airport to nab the suspected smugglers.
A customs official said that the customs department had suspected a passenger’s movement who arrived from Dubai and followed him. Through the surveillance, they found that he was going to MAPMYGENOME Covid testing center. They then observed him throwing some polythene bags in the dustbin. Thereafter, customs took him into custody after finding out that he has dropped gold biscuits wrapped in plastic bags.
