The officers of Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), intercepted two passengers arriving from Kuala Lumpur at Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru, and seized 1,200.40 grams 24-karat foreign-origin gold valued at Rs. 1. 79 crore, in an intelligence-led operation on 07.10.2026. The passengers had concealed 12 gold biscuits in two packets affixed to the underside of baggage trolleys, apparently intending to retrieve the gold after the trolleys moved beyond the Customs-controlled area, using unsuspecting passengers to move the trolleys. The gold, concealment material and two baggage trolleys were seized under the Customs Act, 1962. Two persons have been arrested. #DRIAtWork
