Two men have been arrested by the Customs for allegedly trying to smuggle into the country gold valuing about Rs 27 lakh at Delhi airport.
The accused, both aged 32 years and native of neighbouring Haryana, were intercepted by the customs after their arrival from Bangkok yesterday.
"A detailed personal and baggage search of both passengers resulted in the recovery of four gold springs total weighing one kilogram. The gold springs were found concealed in the hollow handles of kick scooters for kids," a press release issued today by the customs said.
The gold, valued at Rs 26.79 lakh, has been seized and the duo arrested, it said.
