    Far better compared to open loot by modi and team. Same profession, but one day will be caught redhanded.

    Somehow gold has the attraction to mostly kasargod people.If all the gold collected from kasargod ones ,whole kasargod could have plated with gold plates.why take so much risk to bring and later have to be detected and pay customs.simply travel relaxed and without strain,buy gold here.Here is enough gold there.Afterall later have to keep in banksafe or thieves .

    Imagine we had flights from Dubai to Kasargod (direct). There would be only gold in Kasargod.
