11 gold bars recovered at Delhi airport after 2 passengers from Dubai closely tracked
The recovery was made after authorities followed two passengers, a man and a woman, both of whom had arrived from Dubai on an Emirates flight - EK-514.
On Friday, customs officials recovered 11 gold bars from a bag at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi. The recovery was triggered after tracking two passengers who had arrived from Dubai on an Emirates flight. While the female passenger was targeted based on specific intelligence, the male passenger was profiled for tracking.
Authorities observed the woman speaking to the male passenger near belt numbers 12 and 13, leading to her interception at the Customs green channel exit. Neither her baggage nor the male passenger's underwent X-Ray screening or metal detector checks until the male's bag triggered a loud beep. This prompted the discovery of 11 gold bars, comprising ten 10 tolas bars and one 1 kg bar, totaling 2,168 grams. The seized gold was then handed over to Shift-B for subsequent actions.
