Customs officials seize gold worth about ₹1.15 crore hidden in a baby’s diaper at Karipur airport. According to reports, the gold is recovered during checks of travellers arriving at the airport.
The Hindu says the gold is hidden in the diaper of an eight-month-old child. Times of India reports the seizure as gold worth ₹1.15 crore, also describing the discovery inside the diaper. Both accounts attribute the recovery to customs inspection at the airport, but they differ slightly in the quoted value and the child’s age wording.
After the seizure, authorities take action under relevant customs and security procedures, and the case is treated as an attempt to smuggle gold. Further details such as who carried the child, how the items were concealed beyond the diaper, and whether any arrests are made are not included in the provided excerpts.
