One held with over 1.6kg gold at Ctg airport

Customs Intelligence and Investigation Directorate (CIID) detained a passenger with over 1.6kg gold at Shah Amanat International Airport in Chattogram on Wednesday, reports UNB.   

However, the identity of the detained passenger could not be known.

Airport Director Group Captain Taslim Ahmed said the flight FZ-0563 from Dubai landed at the Shah Amanat airport at 10:45 am.

Tipped-off, they came to know that an air passenger brought gold from Dubai illegally in a bag.

The passenger concealed the gold inside a large lock and a battery of the electronic charging light by coating lithium on the gold plate in the bag, he said.

A total of 1.619 Kg of gold was recovered from the bag of the passenger.
