Memory Cards Worth Rs. 1.3 Crores Seized in Delhi Airport

DELHI'S IGI Customs Officers yesterday seized smuggled memory cards valued at over Rs.1.3 Crores. A Delhi resident who arrived from Hong Kong was nabbed as he was walking through the Green Channel and they found him carrying 74,250 memory cards in a cloth zipper worn around his chest and thighs. Following his interrogation, the Customs officers found another passenger waiting outside with 33900 memory cards, who was also nabbed, according to Arun Kumar, Additional Commissioner of Customs IGI Airport. This, according to Customs officers, is the biggest seizure of memory cards in recent times.

Let us hope the Customs will sell these memory cards to the Public or their officers before they are spoiled in the Customs warehouses.
