Mumbai: A man, who had been caught at the city airport for smuggling four gold bars worth over Rs1 crore, was willingly released by investigators with a warm handshake and loads of good wishes. The reason he was let off by customs officers is that he is slated to get married on December 19 and his arrest would’ve “jeopardised his personal life”.
The accused Siraj Mohammed, a Karnataka resident in his late twenties, was apprehended late on Tuesday with his friend Aneesur Rehman. They had arrived from Riyadh by a Jet airways flight after having worked for over a year.
Mohammed and Rehman were arrested and released on bail as the former kept pleading the investigators to let him to go because of his impending wedding function in Karnataka.
