Kasargod, Feb 15: A team of customs officials has taken into possession seven kilograms of gold hidden inside the fuel tank of a car manufactured abroad. The car in question was among a consignment of cars which arrived at Kochi port in ship from Dubai.

The customs officials disclosed that 14 golden chains of 24 carats purity worth Rs 2 crore was recovered from the fuel tank.

The car and its contents had been booked in the name of Moideen Kunhi from Puttur. He was taken into custody by the customs team. Reportedly, Kunhi claimed that the gold was smuggled into the country through his car by Shabbir Ali (40), a resident of Hosdurg Adinhal and C P Ziyad (36) from Nileshwar Kotappara, who run some business in Dubai.

On the basis of this information, customs officials raided their houses. But the officials refused to reveal anything about this raid.

    Meaning, Mohidin Kunchi knew that his car is being made a medium to smuggle gold. If he had informed the authorities in advance, he would have been saved. Now after being arrested if he pukes out the information, no use. It makes him a partner in the crime.

    Secondly, regular gold chains are made our of 22 carat gold, not 24. This shows that the purpose itself is to smuggle the precious metal in.
