With the covert help of a group of unscrupulous employees at Cochin International Airport Limited, a small-time hawala operator from Muvattupuzha, a sleepy town on the eastern outskirts of Ernakulam, engineered one of the biggest smuggling operations in the State’s history. An investigation report by the Customs Department, which imposed a fine of ?96 crore on 54 accused in the case, sheds light on how Noushad P.A, the key accused in the case, smuggled, stocked and dealt in gold. The document, prepared by Customs Commissioner K.N. Raghavan, explains in detail how Noushad maintained links with officials of the Immigration Department and a ground-handling agency and smuggled gold worth ?455 crore from Dubai. The report says Noushad and his brother Faisal appointed Yasir Ibnu Muhammed, Fazil KB, and Saifudheen M.S to recruit staff for smuggling gold.
