“Customs officials recently apprehended a gold consignment at Delhi’s IGI Airport coming from Dubai where the smuggler had converted gold bars into staple pins with silver coating. These pins were stapled on the boxes of TVs he was legally importing. In another case, DRI officials apprehended a consignment where capacitors of picture tubes of TV sets were made of gold. ‘Unless you have specific information you can’t catch such consignments. Who would break open a TV and look at the capacitor of its picture tube for smuggled gold. Though we have had good success, we believe a lot of consignments are finding their way into the country,’ said the officer.”
