CUSTOMS AT CHENNAI AIRPORT ARRESTED AN AIR INDIA CABIN CREW MEMBER AND A PASSENGER FOR ATTEMPTING TO SMUGGLE GOLD INTO INDIA. (PHOTO).


 Customs officials at Chennai Airport have arrested an Air India cabin crew member and a passenger for attempting to smuggle 1.7 kilograms of 24-carat gold into India.  The gold, valued at over ₹1 crore, was concealed in compound form within the crew member’s undergarments. 


The arrests occurred after the flight from Dubai landed in Chennai on Sunday. Upon interception, the passenger admitted to handing over the gold to the cabin crew member during the flight, intending for it to be smuggled out of the airport. 


This incident highlights a shift in smuggling tactics, with smugglers now attempting to use airline staff to bypass security measures. Authorities have noted an increase in such methods following crackdowns on ground staff involved in smuggling operations. 


Both the cabin crew member and the passenger have been remanded in judicial custody. Air India has not yet commented on the incident. This case underscores the ongoing challenges faced by enforcement agencies in curbing gold smuggling activities, despite a narrowing price difference between gold markets in Dubai and India.
