    Why is the name of the passenger not given, more so, when he has indulged in a cognizable offence of bringing in gold in a concealed form and not reporting it to the Customs? Is there any rule which prohibits the Customs department from revealing names?

    Readers, MIA has relatively less passenger traffic, yet the pandemic of smuggling continues unabated.. even Mumbai airport has considerable less reported cases of contraband smuggling.. These modules are determined to carry out these nefarious antinational activities..only extremely stringent sections of the law will have salutary effects on these termites !!!

    MIA has been leased to Gautam Adani to administer and maintain the airport premises. Customs and immigration are still being handled by Central Government staff. Adani doesn't have sovereignty over MIA. Try to know the difference.
