Customs authorities at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) in Dhaka have seized around 12 kilograms of gold bars from a toilet on a Biman Bangladesh aircraft.
The gold bars were recovered with the support from National Security Intelligence early on Monday after the plane arrived from Dubai, said Customs department’s Deputy Commissioner Othello Chowdhury.
“The gold bars were wrapped up with tape on the back of a mirror in the plane’s toilet. A total of 106 bars weighing 12 kg were recovered after removing the tape.”
No suspect has been arrested over the incident, reports bdnews24.
“We will start an investigation to find the smugglers,” Othello Chowdhury said.
