The gold bars were stashed in the toilet and left there to be picked up by a local mule during its domestic run to Mumbai. Officials also seized two gold biscuits worth Rs 7 lakh from a passenger who came by the same flight during passenger profiling.

Customs officials spotted the man moving in a suspicious manner and intercepted him. Following a search, they found two gold biscuits weighting 227 gms concealed in his rectum and the same was seized.
