A 22-year-old Indian male passenger from Rajasthan, travelling from Doha to Delhi, on Wednesday tried to outsmart the customs officials by hiding 240 grams of gold chains in toffee wrappers, it said.
“Sharp-eyed officers spotted suspicious images during baggage X-rays, leading to the sweet discovery! Life may be like a box of chocolates, but customs always takes the last pick!” the customs department said in a post on X.
The gold seized is valued at Rs 17.47 lakh.
