Mangaluru: The officers of customs, Mangaluru International Airport on Wednesday November 17 seized about 2 kg of gold valued at around Rs 53 lac from a passenger who arrived from Dubai. The passenger's identity has not been revealed.
On a reasonable suspicion, the officers enquired with a passenger as to whether he possessed any dutiable items to be declared to customs. As the passenger could not provide satisfactory reply and was incoherent while responding to the officers, his baggage was subjected to detailed examination.
The examination resulted in detection of an object coated with black metallic paint and moulded in the form of heating coil ingeniously concealed inside an iron box carried by him. The gold assayer has confirmed the object as that of pure gold of 24 carat.
