Bengaluru: A 42-year-old man was apprehended by customs officials at the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru for allegedly smuggling 100 grams of gold worth Rs 4.9 lakh.
The passenger, a resident of Chennai, who came from Dubai, had hidden the gold inside his mouth. The crime came to notice after officials saw that the man had some kind of difficulty while speaking.
When the officials checked his mouth, two pieces of gold collectively weighing 100 grams were found.
Fifteen other gold pieces, worth Rs 49.6 lakh, were found hidden in the Indigo flight 6E 096. It is unclear if the same person had abandoned the gold on the flight that landed here from Dubai early Wednesday.
Further investigations are underway.
