Passenger Amarjeet Singh was intercepted while he was going to board a connecting flight to Delhi and his frisking led to the recovery of over a kilogram of 'gold paste', they said.
The traveller, coming from Bangkok, had taped the 'gold paste' and hidden it in his inner wear and bottom lining of his denim pant, they said.
