Mumbai: On the second level of the international terminal 2 of Mumbai airport is a strong room that could be arguably called the present day Ali Baba's cave. Currently, the strong room is stocked with seized gold bars.
In May, the customs officials of the Mumbai airport reaped a bumper harvest of sorts—104kg of the yellow metal. "For the first time ever, the gold seized from smugglers landing at the city airport has crossed 100kg in a month," said Kiran Kumar, assistant commissioner of customs, air intelligence unit. "It is a remarkable achievement."
The seized gold is packed, sealed, labelled, registered and guarded in the strong room along with other confiscated goods such as currency, diamonds and drugs.
