BENGALURU: Last week, a man landed at Kempegowda International Airport from Dubai wearing custom-stitched trousers and briefs fitted with gold paste worth over Rs 26.7 lakh. Customs sleuth nabbed him, seized the gold and booked him for duty evasion and smuggling.
Sources said the innovative smuggling bid unfolded after a flight from Dubai touched down on Thursday night. As passengers disembarked and headed to get their luggage, customs sleuths posted in the arrival area carried out passenger profiling and intercepted the man, who was acting in a suspicious manner.
