Airport News: When Hrithik (name changed) was stopped at the arrival hall of the airport, who was carrying a red bag, the customs officials asked him – Don’t you have something on which you should pay customs duty? Hrithik smiled and replied no. On hearing the answer, the customs officer again asked, have you made any purchases from Kuala Lumpur?
Hrithik then replied smilingly – Yes, I have bought some boxes of chocolates for the children. On hearing this, the customs officers asked to show the chocolate. When the bag was opened, eight boxes of Miami brand special chocolates were kept inside it. Meanwhile, Hrithik was seen trying to show some haste in closing the bag.
The customs officials became suspicious of Hrithik’s actions. So, stopping Hrithik, he extended his hand towards the chocolate boxes. As soon as the customs officer’s hand touched the box, there was movement inside it. After this, it was natural for the customs officers to frown. This passenger was immediately taken into custody and search started.
During the search, it was found that the boxes were not filled with chocolates but with turtles. Customs has recovered 2447 live turtles from eight boxes of chocolates. During interrogation, it was found that these turtles were hidden inside chocolate boxes with the intention of smuggling. In this case of Trichy Airport, Customs has arrested this passenger who came from Batik Airlines flight OD 221.
