“Customs officers at Jaipur International Airport on Saturday intercepted a passenger who arrived from Dubai. After thorough examination, approximately 466 grams of gold valued at Rs 22.53 lakh was seized. The gold was concealed in armature (rotating part of motor) of an exhaust fan. The exterior wall of the fan armature was made of silver-coloured metal and the gold was so neatly concealed that no joint was visible.
