In three days, Mumbai Customs authorities confiscated gold worth more than Rs 4.44 crore, leading to the arrest of four individuals. The seizures, which took place between April 19 and April 21, 2024, totalled approximately 6.815 kilograms of gold.
The gold and diamonds were concealed using a variety of tactics, including concealing the smuggled items in noodle packages. The seizures were part of an ongoing campaign to curb smuggling at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.
In a second operation, Mumbai Customs detected and seized 2.314 kilogrammes of coloured pills suspected of being MDMA, with an estimated worth of Rs. 4.62 crore. The pills were concealed in fabric organisers, which resulted in the arrest of both an Indian and a foreign individual.
