Mangalore Today Network-1

Hyderabad: June 22, 2015: The DVD players and microwave ovens they arrived with were worth their gold - literally. A hundred passengers, many from Tamil Nadu, are being questioned at the Vishakapatnam airport for allegedly smuggling in a whopping 63 kilos of gold in an assortment of electronic items.


Gold Smuggling


Those questioned landed on three different flights from Kuala Lumpur and Singapore between last night and this morning.

Sources said a tip-off from Chennai alerted officials to the gold that was being brought in. The first kilo of smuggled gold was recovered from the handbags of three women passengers, said sources.

Then an extensive check of electronic gadgets in the luggage on the three planes revealed the rest of the hidden treasure.
