540 Kgs Of Gold, Dubai And A Political Connection – Bisbo Explains The Kerala Gold Smuggling Case
Kerala, 23rd September 2020: Deeper than a high-paced action thriller, the Kerala gold smuggling case from May 2020 has it all! An international gold racket, a woman who allegedly sweet-talked her way into Kerala’s corridors of power, a fast-paced, three state car chase and a substantial booty of 540kg in gold.
The gold smuggling case, which took place on the sidelines of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown, opened a can of worms for the Kerala government, with many political angles. It all began with an anonymous tip, which alerted the customs to a cache of gold from Dubai in diplomatic baggage and the presence of a ‘dealer woman’.
Bisbo, a YouTube-based channel for news and event coverage, has just unveiled a comprehensive explainer on this case. The explainer, titled ‘Kerala gold smuggling case, the most detailed account of the crime and the aftermath’ has quickly caught everyone’s imagination and has clocked more than 126k views in less than a week.
“At Bisbo, we bring complex news stories, current affairs and other topics to everyday users in a unique blend of knowledge and illustrations. We often receive special requests to do such explainers from our audience and take them up – this case was one of them”, said Shakir Ebrahim, founder of Bisbo.

Spread across ten different language channels, Bisbo has covered the IPL 2020, the recent TikTok ban, Indo-China conflict, criminals in politics, Tablighi Jamaat and the Anil Ambani story. The channel has also taken a stand to refrain from creating content around actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, as it goes against all journalistic ethics.
