Gold smuggling racket involving CISF assistant commandant busted

The police on Tuesday busted a gold-smuggling racket involving high officers of the Customs and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and other airport staff at Calicut International Airport. A case was registered against CISF assistant commandant Naveen under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

The police said gold had been smuggled in with the help of these officers at least 60 times.

The police said they were investigating the deeper connections of the racket involving officers and employees at the airport. The police could identify the CISF and Customs links following the arrest of four men from a parked jeep outside the airport on October 5.
