Lucknow, Feb. 10 -- Even days after 1,267.6 gms of gold worth Rs 1.95 crore was recovered from a Saudia flight at the Lucknow airport, authorities were yet to identify the passenger who allegedly smuggled it to the city. The recovery was made from Saudia SV 892, which flew from Jeddah to Lucknow, in the early hours of February 6. During regular inspection post arrival, airport officials found two packets and a plastic bag concealed under a seat around 12.50am. Officials said the matter was immediately escalated to the customs department, which seized the gold when no passenger claimed ownership. Jagamohan Thota, the assistant commissioner of customs at Lucknow airport, said, "Efforts to identify the passenger responsible are underway. The commissioner will soon be sharing more." In the absence of a claimant, customs authorities took custody of the gold and suspected that the incident could be linked to an attempted smuggling operation. "The customs department has launched a detailed investigation to determine how the gold was brought into the country and who was involved in the alleged smuggling attempt. The department of customs wants to be sure before acting against anyone in the matter," the officials said....
