Indian customs caught a smuggler who had hidden gold bars weighing about two pounds in his rectum. Local media reports that airport officials were suspicious of the man's weird walk. The passenger traveled with the low-cost airline GoAir from Dubai to Kannur.

The daily newspaper “The National” writes that the man allegedly stated in his interrogation that he wanted to save the 18 percent tax. How he came up with the unusual and probably painful “hiding place”, he did not say. Customs said the gold smuggled was worth about $ 60.000. Another smuggler was caught with three pounds of gold on the same flight. However, it is not known whether he tried the same method. The Indian authorities did not provide any information on this. Incidentally, the next gold smuggler fell into the clutches of Indian customs on an Air Arabia flight from Sharjah to Kozhikode. This man is said to have had a pound of the precious metal hidden in his underwear, but not in his intestines. Whether there is a connection between the three men is unclear and the investigation will show.
