A man who was smuggling in a gold necklace studded with diamonds worth Rs 6.08 crore was arrested upon arrival at the IGI Airport from Bangkok, officials here said on Sunday. On the basis of profiling, Customs officers booked a case of smuggling of gold necklace studded with diamonds on February 12 against one Indian male passenger, who arrived at IGI Airport’s T-3 from Bangkok.

Detailed examination of the baggage and personal search of the passenger resulted in the recovery of a diamond-studded gold necklace weighing 40 grams, having a total value of Rs 6.08 crore, the Delhi Customs said in a post on X.

The necklace has been seized under Section 110 of the Customs Act, 1962, and the man arrested under Section 104 of the act.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
