Thiruvananthapuram: Commissioner of Customs (Kochi) Sumit Kumar Saturday said he has been getting threats and was being pressured to get into “passive mode”. In a Facebook post, he said, “I deal daily with smugglers inside and outside my formation and their friends/abettors in and out of uniform.’’ Earlier this week, the air customs in Kochi international airport arrested an Afghan national with foreign currencies worth Rs 10.86 crore in his check-in baggage. The accused got a clean chit during security check at Delhi airport, from where he had boarded the flight to Dubai. Kumar had issued summons to the security chief of Air India over the incident.
In another case earlier this month, the CEO of a duty free shop in Thiruvananthapuram international airport was arrested on charges of illegal sale of imported liquor, leading to evasion of customs duty of Rs 6 crore. The CEO of Plus Max Duty Free Shop, Sunder Vasan, is in judicial custody.
