Rs. 21Lakh Gold Seized At Kolkata Airport

Kolkata: Two passengers carrying gold bars worth almost Rs. 21 lakh were seized at Kolkata’s Netaji Subhas Chandra International Airport on Sunday. The passengers- Manoj Gupta and Nagendra Tiwari- arrived at Kolkata from Bangkok by TG 313 flight of Thai Airways late at the day.
Reports are that the suspicion arose during the checking process as both of the passengers were found hiding gold bars under their socks. The airport officials has confirmed the news saying that gold bars weighing around 560 gm, valued at over Rs.17.09 lakh, were recovered from one person and 152 gm yellow metal worth Rs. 4.65 lakh was seized from the other.


According to the airport transportation rules for gold, if passengers were found carrying illegal gold worth around Rs. 20 Lakh, the airport authority seizes the gold only and frees the passenger. Yesterday it was the same with Gupta and Tiwari.
Both of the passengers were interrogated and but was not held in police custody.  The gold with them was seized by the NSCB international airport officials.
