Kochi: The Customs air intelligence unit on Tuesday recorded the arrest of Alappuzha native Sreelakshmi Jayanti (27), a carrier for a gold smuggling racket, who reportedly dumped 2.5kg of gold in a women’s lavatory at the Cochin international airport after getting nervous during a smuggling bid about three months ago.
She was later let off on conditional bail after she promised to cooperate with the probe. “She told us that she brought the gold on her person from Dubai. After dumping the gold in the lavatory next to the arrival gate, she went to Alappuzha and then returned to Dubai. She came back following a demand from the department. Now, we are trying to track down other links in the racket,” said customs commissioner Sumit Kumar.
