The accused Vijay Patel arrived at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport on Tuesday night from Singapore flight and was passing through the green channel when he was intercepted, a Customs official said today.
Only the passengers who have no goods to declare can pass through the green channel.
Patel, who landed in Mumbai from New Zealand via Singapore, was found with undeclared assorted gold jewellery weighing 300 grams valued at Rs 9.08 lakh and cash of Rs 50,000, upon checking his luggage.
The cash and jewellery was seized from the accused and he was subsequently arrested yesterday under the provisions of the Customs Act 1962.
