Indian customs officials have intercepted an audacious attempt to smuggle over a kilo of gold through Cochin International Airport.
A passenger arriving from Dubai was flagged for inspection at the green channel. Subsequent examination unveiled four capsule-shaped packets containing gold paste, collectively weighing 1111.25 grams, ingeniously hidden inside the passenger’s rectum.
The gold, valued at a substantial amount, has been confiscated, and the individual is in custody.
Authorities are investigating potential links to wider smuggling networks.
