CBI has registered an FIR in a case of 8.5 kg of gold worth over Rs. 2 crore going missing from the customs vaults at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi.
Sources in the agency said a case has been registered against unknown officials under IPC sections related to criminal conspiracy and criminal breach of trust besides provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act.
A complaint was received from the Customs department saying it found during a joint stock-taking exercise with DRI and CBI teams that the gold was removed and replaced with non- precious metals in 10 packets, they said.
The sources said a total of 8.5 kg of precious metal was allegedly found missing from the customs vault.
Authorities ordered the CBI probe after it surfaced that gold seized from smugglers mysteriously disappeared from customs vaults at IGI Airport.
There have been many cases of gold, both in form of bullion and jewellery, going missing in the last over four years from the customs warehouse.
