The directorate of revenue intelligence (DRI) arrested two persons on Friday for smuggling gold worth Rs1.14 crore to India from Dubai. The gold was smuggled in as clothes’ hooks which were coated with silver to evade detection. The arrests were made after the DRI officials stopped a consignment in the unaccompanied baggage section of the air cargo complex in Sahar. The officials realised that the hooks were made up of gold and was plated with silver as a camouflage. Officials found that Lokhandwala and Soni smuggled gold into the country in similar ways.
