MANGALURU: Twenty-two gold bars worth Rs 60 lakh hidden in the toilet of a Jet Airways flight were seized by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) at Mangalore International Airport on Saturday.
Acting on a tip-off that gold was being smuggled in Jet Airways from Dubai to Mangaluru, the DRI sleuths swung into action.
The gold was supposed to be retrieved later by a domestic passenger boarding at Mangaluru. The DRI found two packets containing 22 gold bars with foreign seals. Each bar weighed 100 grams.
