The Air Intelligence Unit (AIU) of the Mumbai Customs today detected two cases of gold smuggling at the international airport here and arrested a passenger.
While 1,165 grams of gold was found hidden inside a toilet near the immigration area of the airport, the same amount of unclaimed gold was recovered from the tissue paper box of a toilet in an Air India flight, an official said.
The collective value of both the consignments was estimated at Rs 68 lakh.
In connection with the recovery of the gold from the toilet near the immigration area, the sleuths arrested one Mohammed Ali who had landed from Dubai today.
The AIU suspects the role of insiders in both the cases, he said.
