At around 3.30 am on Wednesday, a patrolling team alerted the staff of the Parliament and Kartavya Path Street Police Station about the 28 bikers who were indulging in negligent and rash driving.
A Gujarat-based jeweler was caught at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport with goods worth around Rs. 28.17 crore. Shockingly the seized items include a diamond-studded wristwatch of Jacob & Co. valued at Rs. 27.09 crore alone.
According to an official of the Customs Department, a total of seven watches, a bracelet, and an iPhone have been recovered from the passenger. It was also noticed that none of the recovered watches cost less than Rs. 14 lakh and total seized items are equivalent to the seizure of 60 Kgs of gold.
The Customs officials are interrogating the said passenger to ascertain the facts, who hails from Junagarh, Gujarat.
Terming the incident as one of major seizures in the recent past, a customs official said that it is being ascertained that on whose behest the accused had brought these watches.
