    Some people have a tendency to doubt everything.If gold is getting caught by customs officials then its a good thing I believe. and dont forget that people are bringing gold in an unfair manner thats w hy they are being caught. if it is not appreciated by anyone then at least don't demoralize them.

    How come suddenely all the customs officers woke up...! That means so far nobody tried to smuggle gold or....customs officers were having hands in gloves with the thieves....! Custom officers anyway considered as looters in the entry points of my Bharath Mahan...Look at Diggy Singh dares Kejriwal for the proof of corruption....! All the system is corrupt in India. No one can prove the corruption of these white wearing leaders..
