NEW DELHI: Customs officials at Indira Gandhi International Airport intercepted a huge consignment of heroin worth almost Rs 7.5 crore.
The 1.2kg drugs were cleverly hidden inside 78 bangles, which were discovered at the airport on Sunday.
An official said that the team acted on an input received a couple of days ago and intercepted a courier of bangles. The package was sent from an African country and was to be delivered to a non-existing address in Gurgaon.
“An arrest in the case is likely soon,” said an official
In a similar case, customs preventive officials had seized 510 grams heroin in January worth Rs 3.5 crore, concealed inside skipping ropes. The seizure was also made at the new courier terminal of IGI. An official said that the same cartel was behind that courier as well.
