Biggest Seizure of Gold in Ahmedabad - By Police
THE Special Operation Group of the Ahmedabad Crime Branch Police celebrated Central Excise Day yesterday by seizing 60 kgs of gold valued at over 16 crores of rupees. This is stated to be the largest single seizure of gold in the country. The gold was seized from three passengers who arrived at the Ahmedabad airport from Dubai. The passengers cleared through Customs and Security without a hitch but were caught by the police outside the airport. The police also arrested three persons who came to the airport to give a hearty welcome to the gold smugglers.
Is it so easy to walk out of the airport with so much gold?
The FM should think of changing the duty structure on import of gold, so as to make smuggling not so profitable.
