Mumbai: The preventive wing of the Customs seized a bar of gold weighing one kilogram and traced the alleged smuggler after he abandoned the contraband outside the airport in Mumbai.
Customs sources said today that the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) found a gold bar outside the airport and handed it over to the local Sahar police station under whose jurisdiction Mumbai's Chattrapati International Airport falls.
"We took over the case from the police and traced the owner as one Abdul who admitted to have smuggled it while coming from Sharjah on February 28," a customs official said.
"We had summoned Abdul and asked him to produce the relevant papers for the gold. He had glued the gold bar to the trolley but abandoned it later. We suspect he was carrying some other smuggled goods as well," the official said.
