Hyderabad: The Air Intelligence Unit (AIU) sleuths of the Customs department have arrested a member of gold smuggling gang and recovered 2.3kg gold from his possession at RGI Airport on Sunday. The accused was carrying a camshaft, a part of the car engine, in which gold was concealed.
The arrested accused is from Haryana and he arrived at RGI Airport from Sharjah in Indigo’s flight 6E 1406 on Friday night. During the baggage scanning, the AIU sleuths noticed a metal object that looked like an automobile spare part in the checked in baggage of the suspect.
Customs officials then pulled the suspect aside and subjected him to questioning. The suspect told Customs officials that the spare part was camshaft and he bought it in Sharjah for personal use. When AIU team asked him why a spare part like camshaft has to be brought from abroad when it is available for lesser price in India, the suspect tried to convince them by saying that quality of the spare part he got was better than what is available in India.
