Hyderabad: Customs officials on Sunday apprehended five passengers at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport while they were trying to smuggle out 5,000 packets of 'gutkha' to Doha. Gutkha is banned in India.
The customs officials pulled aside the five when they noticed gutkha packets stuffed in their checked-in luggage and stopped them from boarding a Doha-bound Qatar Airways flight in the wee hours of Sunday. "We found 5,000 packets of gutkha stuffed inside their checked-in baggage. They were natives of Hyderabad and were going to Qatar for jobs," a customs official said.
