The DRI seized one kg of gold worth more than Rs 30 lakh from a passenger, coming from Dubai at the Amritsar airport.
Acting on a tip-off, sleuths of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) seized nine biscuits from Amit Kumar, hailing from Amritsar, who was travelling in a flight coming from Dubai on March 29, DRI officials said today.
Nine gold biscuits weighing 116 gram each were concealed in an amplifier, they said.
"Gold biscuits were concealed in such a way that even the x-ray machines failed to detect them," the officials said.
Besides Kumar, DRI sleuths also arrested a Batala resident named Abhishek Kumar who was at the airport to receive him. Both have been booked under the Customs Act.
