Two men were arrested by the custom officers at Chatrapati Shivaji International Airport for attempting to smuggle 44, 400 memory cards from Hong Kong. The incident occurs at midnight when the duo landed in a Jet Airways flight.

The duo has been recognized as Imran Abdul, 29 and Shakeeb Ghulam, 25. They were caught by the team of Air Intelligence Unit while they were departing through the green channel.

The accused had hid the memory cards in the washroom at the airport after they came to know that the custom officers were waiting for them. The officers retrieve memory cards after detaining Ghulam and Abdul.

"The accused are usual carriers and it was their routine to leave the baggage in the washroom so they can clear the green channel without any obstacle," said Additional Commissioner of Customs, Mahendra Pal.

Afterwards, officers came to know that it was their routine as they used to leave the baggage in the washroom and other person used to collect it from there. Throughout the questioning, the custom officers were shocked when they found out that person attached to their own department can be involved in the issue.

supposedly, the third person who was supposed to collect baggage from the washroom is a driver working with the custom department who has a pass to enter airport building. "Our investigations are on to discover if the driver is involved in the case or not. He has not been arrested up till now but the other two have been arrested who will be produced in the court on Friday," said a custom officer from the airport.
