Gold jewellery worth Rs 3 crore was today seized at the Goa International Airport in Dabolim , customs officials said.
10 kg gold jewellery was concealed in plastic packets and was found under the seat of a Qatar Airways flight which landed here from Doha, the officials said.
The gold was found during a flight maintenance operation after passengers had alighted from the plane.
"No one came forward to claim the packets," a customs spokesperson said.
The airline crew as well as the maintenance staff have been questioned in this connection, he added.
