“Since behaviour of passenger was very suspicious, he was asked if he has concealed anything in the aircraft. Since his answers raised suspicion further, his seat alongwith few other spots in the aircraft were seached. During the search, a packet of gold paste was found concealed in the pipe under the seat where he was sitting. After extraction 24k gold was retrieved weighing 1088.30gms valued at Rs.78,01,043”, informed Yashodhan Wanage, Commissioner of Pune Customs.
