Airline employees are smuggling drugs, watches: Report
Delhi: The Intelligence Bureau has received a report from airport agencies on rampant smuggling being carried out at the Mumbai and Delhi airports.  

Airport agencies suspect the involvement of many airline employees in the smuggling business. The report cites two incidents where airline crew members have been used as couriers to smuggle garments, drugs, counterfeit medicines and electronic goods.

In March this year, two stewards from Jet Airways were found carrying Rolex watches. The same month, two Air India employees were caught carrying garments.

The Intelligence Bureau will work in coordination with the Air Intelligence Unit, Customs and airport authority to crack the case.
