On suspicion, the Air Intelligence wing of Customs department intercepted passenger Suresh Kumar, who arrived from Bangkok by a Thai Airways flight at the RGIA airport after midnight.
After a thorough checking, they found two gold bars concealed in his undergarments and jeans, a senior customs official said.
