A woman cabin crew with a private carrier was arrested by customs officials for trying to smuggle in 4kg of gold dust worth ₹1 crore from Dubai. Sanna Pathan, 30, was caught by the Air Intelligence Unit with the gold dust concealed under her undergarments in her baggage.
Officials said the Kalyan resident was a courier and had been promised ₹60,000 for the job by a man named Sahil in Dubai. His number was found to be switched off.
Pathan, who has worked with two other airlines previously, told officials that a man named Mohammed had given her pouches with the gold dust in the aircraft’s washroom, and she was supposed to deliver it to another person after clearing customs. Pathan said she was to receive a call after customs clearance. A local court has remanded her in judicial custody.
