    Gold and Drugs, are smuggled by carriers, under an organized syndicate gangs, air n sea routes, were most commonly, used to bring in the consignments. The crack down in Mumbai, by security agencies, have seen these carriers taking less congested traffic routes....Stringent Life Rigorous Imprisonment or even Death sentences, will be able to stop this growing menace, in our nation !!!

    Mansoor Khan is in. Where now smuggled gold's last destination. I dont think smuggling gold is haraam. Taking interest money is big offence eventhough legally giving by government. Need some changes. Cannot continue with same from the time of of alladin.

    Thanks to not disclose name of passengers. While looking origin from where they belonged no need to inform more. Even person who sit for fifth standard exam will give right answer. Royalty holding by somebody from long. Nobody can replace them.
