MUMBAI: The recent spate of gold smuggling through airport has made the authorities wonder if the laws are stringent enough to keep smuggling down. Many customs officials feel that not so strict laws are the reason behind the increase in smuggling.
Last week, Air Intelligence Unit (AIU) officials arrested a man carrying five gold biscuits concealed in his rectum. The man had landed in Mumbai from Dubai and was planning to smuggle gold out to earn a profit. Officials said that though it was a serious offence, he culprit was out on bail the next day. "Most smugglers do not fear the law when it comes to smuggling of gold. They all know that after being presented in the court, the carrier would be out on a bail," said a senior customs official. "This is why, despite strict vigilance, gold smuggling never abates," he added. The officials said that compared to gold smuggling, narcotics laws are more stringent and hold fear among smugglers.
"This is why big consignments of drugs are rarer," said an AIU officer. Officials said that most of the gold cases come from passengers landing from Dubai. "People can buy gold at a cheaper rate and make a straight profit by selling in India," said a customs officer. "While some cases include lay passengers who only want to evade duty, most are smugglers who are carrying gold to be sold in the market. The latter ought to be punished more severely," he addedAnda sedang membaca artikel tentang
