In a shocking incident, an air hostess was arrested at Kannur International Airport for allegedly smuggling nearly 1 kg of gold from Muscat. The gold was concealed in her rectum, according to a DRI source. The cabin crew member, Surabhi Khatun, was intercepted based on specific intelligence and produced before a magistrate, who remanded her to 14 days in prison. This is the first such case in India where an airline crew member has been caught smuggling gold in this manner. The incident highlights the creative methods used by smugglers and the vigilance of DRI officials.
