Mumbai: The Mumbai Airport Customs foiled an attempt to smuggle a contraband of 1.452kg of marijuana (ganja) worth Rs 1.45 crore from Bangkok on Friday.
The alert customs officials intercepted a passenger on arrival from a Bangkok flight for suspected narcotics trafficking. The passenger was asked to step aside for a search of his check-in baggage leading to the seizure of high-quality curated marijuana. The contraband drugs were ingeniously packed in vacuum-sealed packets, wrapped with different garments, and concealed inside the check-in bag of the passenger, said a Mumbai airport customs spokesperson.
The passenger was taken into custody and booked under the provisions of the Customs Act and Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act for drug trafficking.
