New Delhi: A man hid five Breitling for Bentley dials in his rectum after landing at the IGI Airport - a desperate attempt to smuggle expensive watches into the country. However, airport authorities saw through the trick and intercepted him before he could exit the terminal.
Customs officials said they had specific information that a passenger named Shadab Khan would be carrying watches and memory cards. Khan, described as a tall, lean man, flew down from Hong Kong on an Air India flight (AI-315) on Wednesday.
"We had information that he would try and bring watches and memory cards into Delhi. Accordingly, our men started trailing him from the aircraft itself. Once out of the plane, he walked into a toilet instead of heading for the immigration counters," said Ashutosh Baranwal, additional commissioner, customs, IGI Airport.
He added: "When he walked out, our officials went inside and found butter paper. From that, we concluded that he must have crammed the watches up his rectum using butter and soap."
