B'desh national arrested for smuggling gold biscuits to Kol

A Bangladeshi national was arrested today at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport here by customs department officers for smuggling gold biscuits worth Rs 32.67 lakh.
Musir Ahmed, a citizen of Bangladesh, had arrived here from Kuala Lampur in Malaysia by an Air Asia flight and tried to pass through the green channel gates of the customs when the sleuths grew suspicious about his movements, a customs officer at the NSCBI Airport said.
The person was detained and after close examination with help of medics, 11 gold biscuits were retrieved from him which were concealed in his rectum.
"The gold biscuits weigh around 1 kg and 100 gm and are estimated to be worth Rs 32.67 lakh. We have learnt that the arrested person was supposed to meet his contacts in a central Kolkata hotel where they were planning to sell the biscuits. Investigations are on," the officer said.
