Upon closer inspection, they found 3.497 kilograms of gold concealed inside the machine, which had been shipped from Dubai via the IX 194 flight. The gold, in the form of two cylindrical bars, was cleverly hidden within the machine, detected when the machine was found to be unusually heavy and damaged.
In a separate incident, 554 grams of gold were recovered from the rectum of another passenger arriving on Flight no 6E1424 from Sharjah. This discovery was made during a routine search based on suspicions and information received. The total weight of the seized gold in both cases was 4.05 kilograms, and its combined worth was ₹2.55 crore.
