Bengaluru Customs arrested a passenger who arrived from Abu Dhabi for allegedly attempting to smuggle 918.01gms of goldin paste form, worth more than ₹47 lakh in underwear on Sunday.

In recent times the number of people who put their lives at risk for smuggling has increased drastically. This is the second such incident in the last two days after customs seized 966.10 grams of gold worth over ₹50 lakh from a passenger who reportedly hid it similarly. This also suggests the drugs and gold trafficking networks continue to be in operation internationally.
