Cochin Gold Smuggling Case - Yet another officer arrested
AFTER the sensational 20 kgs gold seizure by Cochin Air Customs, it seems more Customs officers than smugglersare getting arrested. It is learnt that CBI arrested an Assistant Commissioner yesterday. Already a Deputy Commissioner and a Preventive Officer are under arrest.
Meanwhile it seems the kingpin in the smuggling racket, who is well connected, has filed a complaint against some Customs officers alleging custodial torture and the Police have registered a case against some Customs officers.
