    "The X-ray machines at the airports could easily detect gold concealed inside the baggage of passengers. The latest metal
    detectors will help enforcers intercept carriers who conceal gold in their body cavities or on their person"

    May be the smugglers are not aware of the latest technology used at the customs.

    He should be booked with goonda act, he tried to cheat Government of India. Any person caught with gold with original form can be treated as normal offender. If they modify the source is cheating.

    4 Goonda case padle pura bandh apund.
