The passenger was intercepted on October 10, 2026. Examination of the baggage led to the recovery of gold with a purity of 99.31%, valued at approximately ₹35.21 lakh.

The concealment involved shaping the gold into wires and placing them along the corners of the trolley bags, making the precious metal appear to be part of the baggage structure.

The recovered gold was seized under the Customs Act, 1962, and further investigation is underway. Details regarding the passenger’s identity, any arrest, or possible links to a wider smuggling network were not provided in the information shared.

Delhi Customs reiterated its vigilance in curbing smuggling and strengthening enforcement at the country’s borders.
