Bengaluru customs arrest Bangkok flyer with drugs worth 2.8 crores at KIAL
Bengaluru: Customs sleuths on Tuesday arrested a passenger arriving from Bangkok at the Kempegowda International Airport for allegedly trafficking drugs.
During routine checking at the airport, customs officials seized a large quantity of hydroponic cannabis from the passenger’s luggage.
Officials said around 8 kg of hydroponic cannabis was recovered, with its estimated market value pegged at approximately Rs 2.8 crore.
In a separate case on the same day, customs officials recovered about 900 grams of ganja, worth around Rs 31.5 lakh, from another passenger who had arrived from Hong Kong.
