  "account": "Two women were arrested at Bihar's Gaya international airport on Wednesday for attempting to smuggle ten kilograms of marijuana, according to officials. The joint team of customs and Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel discovered the narcotics during security checks when the women arrived from Thailand on a Thai Airway flight. The marijuana was concealed in four separate bags, with an estimated value of around ₹10 crore on the international market. Simranjeet and Kulvinder, the arrested women, are reportedly residents of Punjab, though their permanent addresses are still under investigation. They were identified as part of a group of six people who had traveled to Thailand four days prior. The other four members of the group have not yet arrived at the Gaya airport.",
