A man wearing underwear worth Rs. 2.5 crores arrested! The truth was very dangerous

Jaipur: The Customs department exposed a case of gold smuggling by taking a big action at Jaipur International Airport on Tuesday afternoon. Customs officials stopped a passenger based on suspicion and upon searching him, recovered 3 kg 500 grams of gold from his undergarments. This gold was hidden in the form of paste so that it could not be caught in the security check. When the officials conducted a thorough search, the accused's entire plan failed. The estimated market price of the recovered gold is said to be around Rs 2 crore.

Where did he bring the gold from and where was he taking it?

After the recovery of gold, the Customs Department immediately took the accused passenger into custody. The officials are questioning him about where he brought the gold from and what was its destination. Initial investigations have raised suspicion that more people may be involved in this smuggling network. Customs officials say that this case points towards a big organised smuggling racket and investigations are on to get to the bottom of it.

Gold was hidden in the private part

Repetition of previous cases Cases of gold smuggling at Jaipur airport are not new. Earlier on October 26, the Customs Department had arrested a passenger who had hidden 1.121 kg of gold in his rectum. The value of the recovered gold was estimated to be around Rs 90.12 lakh. The accused Mahendra Rekhan, resident of Beawar (Rajasthan), had come to Jaipur from Abu Dhabi. In this action based on secret information, gold capsules were recovered through X-ray examination. The court had sent the accused to 14 days judicial custody.

New methods are being adopted for gold smuggling

Strict eye on smuggling: Because of the continuously increasing cases, the customs department and the airport administration have tightened the security system. Officials say that new techniques and strict monitoring are being used to stop gold smuggling. A special eye is being kept on the suspicious activities of the passengers. This latest case has once again proved that gold smugglers are resorting to new methods, but due to the alertness of the customs department, their plans are continuously failing.
