Indian Customs Seize $30K Worth Gold ‘Screws’ From Gulf Passenger
Indian customs seized gold worth $30,000 hidden as screws holding a suitcase together, belonging to a passenger coming in from the Gulf.
Customs officers at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad had found that metal screws and support rods for the suitcase’s trolley wheels had been replaced with gold substitutes to avoid paying about $4,000 in tax.
The video, shared by Indian media company ANI, showed 64 screws and 16 rods – weighing over 454 grams – being discovered by the customs officers.
