Four passengers arriving from UAE nabbed with gold biscuits worth Rs 47 lakh at airport 

In June this year, four men, arriving from the UAE, were arrested at the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) in Bengaluru for allegedly smuggling gold biscuits from Sharjah. Reportedly, the accused had hidden the gold inside their undergarments and wallets.

The four men arrived at the Bengaluru airport via Air Arabia flight G9496 from Sharjah, UAE. When they were stopped for passenger profiling, one of them informed the authorities that he was a native of Karnataka, while the others said that they hailed from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

The officials grew suspicious of the accused during their interaction and carried out a search. It was during the search that the sleuths found two gold pieces hidden in their undergarments, bags, and wallets. The officials seized 938 gm of gold biscuits from the accused.
