MUMBAI: The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has unearthed a gold smuggling racket thriving with the connivance of staff of service providers at Mumbai airport. Officials seized 13kg gold worth Rs3.5 crore from two passengers in two instances on Sunday.

Raids at the residence of Vikas Ambokar, security manager of a Mumbai-based real estate major having its chartered flight services, led to the recovery of Rs1 crore cash besides 20 pieces of gold jewellery. Officials said Ambokar, who has smuggled 200 kg of gold into the country on 15 occasions, is the kingpin of the racket operating since December.

Besides Ambokar, DRI has arrested security agent with a private airline Mahesh Mahadik, driver of a ground-handling agency Manish Jagtap and passengers Abdul Rahman and Ahmed Kunhi .

In the first instance, Kunhi who arrived from Dubai was caught with 9kg gold in the coach that ferries passengers to the terminal. He was supposed to hand over the money to Mahadik.

In the second case, Rahman, who arrived from Qatar, was caught with 4.1 kg gold on the aerobridge. Ambokar was to receive this gold outside the airport

Meanwhile, in yet another incident, Customs officials said they had seized 10 gold bars weighing 1.1kg valued at Rs28 lakh from Rashida Porbanderwala, who had arrived by a flight from Dubai, on Sunday. Porbanderwala had allegedly concealed the gold in her innerwear, according to officials.
