Ops: AIU, IGI Airport, New Delhi
Gold: 233.5 & 117 Grams

When it comes to gold smuggling, smugglers continuously devise innovative concealment methods to evade detection. With the surge in international prices of the precious yellow metal, attempts to smuggle gold into India have become increasingly lucrative. However, Delhi Airport Customs remains vigilant and proactive in countering such attempts.

On 13.05.2026, Customs officers at IGI Airport, New Delhi intercepted two Indian male passengers arriving from Jeddah by flight no. SV-756 and Doha by flight no. 6E-1308 after they crossed the Green Channel.

During detailed examination, Customs officers unearthed an ingenious modus operandi wherein water bottles had been specially modified with fake bottoms concealing circular pieces of raw gold coated with silver colour and meticulously crafted to fit inside, making detection extremely difficult during routine checks.

The alertness and professional acumen of Customs officers led to recovery and seizure of 233.5 grams and 117 grams of gold respectively. Though the quantity seized was comparatively small, the case is significant for the novel concealment methodology detected and exposed by Delhi Airport Customs.
