In a shocking incident, Afghan Consul General Zakia Wardak was caught attempting to smuggle 25 kg of gold worth ₹18.6 crore into India on April 25. Wardak and her son arrived at Mumbai airport from Dubai and used the green channel, indicating they had no declarable luggage. However, DRI officials stopped them and discovered the gold after a search. The duo initially denied carrying any dutiable goods or gold. This incident raises questions about diplomatic immunity and the abuse of power. An investigation is underway.
