Kasargod, May 14: A man who claimed that he was physically challenged and used a wheel chair at the airport was caught with gold worth Rs 2 crore.
Kasargod Bevinje resident Husseinar (42) and Deepali Vijay (38) from Pune are the persons arrested. The incident happened at Karipur airport in Kozhikode.
The duo reached the airport by an Oman Air flight arriving from Muscat on Tuesday afternoon. Deepali Vijay claimed that he was physically challenged and demanded wheel chair service which was provided to him.
Deepali Vijay on wheel chair with the help of Husseinar was coming out happily from the airport without knowing that airport officials were watching them. The officials who did not find any signs in Deepali of being physically challenged interrogated the duo.
Later it was found that the ‘physically challenged ‘ person was carrying gold worth more than Rs 2 Crore in his jacket. They had thought that person on wheel chair would not be checked.
