DHAKA, June 24, 2018 (BSS) – Customs intelligence earlier today arrested
a Malaysian citizen with gold bars weighting 5.487 kilograms at Hazrat
Shajalal International Airport here.
“Lui Kung Hong, a Malaysian citizen of Chinese origin, 33, came here from
Kuala Lumpur by Malindo Air flight OD-162, which landed at Hazrat Shajalal
International Airport around 1 am. He tried to leave the Green Channel Area
hastily dodging scanning. We challenged him and found the gold bars hidden
inside his shoes,” director general of Customs Intelligence Dr Md Shahidul
Islam told BSS.
The customs intelligence chief said they had information that gold bars
were coming by the flight, but they did not know who was carrying those.
“We challenged him as he was behaving suspicious. We found four gold bars
and six pieces of gold worth Tk 2.74 crore. The weight of each bar is one
kg,” he added.
A case was filed in this regard under the customs act.
