New Delhi [India], February 6 (ANI): In a swift operation based on specific intelligence, the Air Intelligence Unit (AIU) of Customs at IGI Airport, New Delhi, intercepted two male passengers from Kashmir and seized gold coins worth Rs 7.8 crore on Wednesday.
The passengers, aged 45 and 43, were arriving from Milan via Flight AI-138, said the Customs.
Acting on specific intelligence, the AIU conducted discreet surveillance and profiling, which revealed suspicious behaviour. The duo was intercepted at the Green Channel. While their baggage scans showed no irregularities, a personal search triggered by DFMD alerts led to the discovery of two specially designed waist belts concealing gold coins wrapped in plastic envelopes.
The total seizure amounted to 10.092 kg of gold, valued at approximately Rs 7.8 crore. Both passengers have been detained for further investigation under the Customs Act, 1962. (ANI)
