A couple returning from Dubai was caught at Surat airport with 28 kg of gold paste concealed under their clothes. Officials say it’s the biggest gold haul in the airport’s history.

Dubai-returned couple held at Surat airport with over 20 kg gold paste

A couple returning from Dubai was caught at Surat airport with 28 kg of gold paste concealed under their clothes. Officials say it&rsquo;s the biggest gold haul in the airport&rsquo;s history.

A couple coming from Dubai were apprehended by the CISF and Customs at the Surat airport for allegedly smuggling in over 20 kg of gold paste by concealing it under their clothes, officials said.
The incident took place around 10 pm on July 20.
The couple were first noticed by a plainclothes official of the Central Industrial Security Force's (CISF) intelligence wing when they deboarded an Air India flight, the officials said.
"The duo, residents of Gujarat, caught the officer's attention due to their unusual walking pattern and slight bulges around their abdominal area, which did not match the natural body contour," a senior CISF officer said.
The security official alerted Customs authorities at the airport and the latter intercepted them. They conducted a thorough physical checking of the couple. While the man was dressed in a shirt and trousers, the woman was wearing a salwar suit.
The officer said, "A total of 28 kg of gold paste was found neatly strapped around their midsections and upper torsos -- 16 kg on the woman and 12 kg on the man." Based on concentration levels of the paste, officials estimate the pure gold yield to be over 20 kg, he said.
"This is likely the biggest gold haul in the history of Surat airport," said another official who is investigating the case.
The operation highlights the vital role of "behavioural profiling and the strong synergy" between CISF and Customs, the officer said.

Gandhi had allegedly linked the surname Modi to thieves during an election rally in Karnataka's Kolar in 2019

Rahul Gandhi in Surat, 'Modi surname' defamation case verdict today

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is in Surat as a city court is expected to deliver its verdict in a 2019 criminal defamation case filed against him. 

Gandhi had allegedly linked the surname Modi to thieves during an election rally in Karnataka's Kolar in 2019

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will appear before a court in Gujarat's Surat city on Thursday when it is expected to deliver its verdict in a 2019 criminal defamation case filed against him over his "Modi surname" remarks, party leaders said on Wednesday.
The case was filed against Gandhi for his alleged &ldquo;how come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname?&rdquo; remarks on a complaint lodged by BJP MLA and former Gujarat minister Purnesh Modi. The Lok Sabha MP from Wayanad made the alleged remarks while addressing a rally at Kolar in Karnataka ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
This will be the former Congress president's first visit to Gujarat after the conclusion of his Bharat Jodo Yatra in January.
Gandhi was in Gujarat last to campaign for the Congress for the December 2022 Assembly elections. The party won just 17 out of the total 182 seats, its worst poll performance since the formation of the state in 1960.

He had last appeared before the Surat court in the case, filed under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 499 and 500 (dealing with defamation), in October 2021 to record his statement. Before that, the Congress MP had appeared in the court to plead not guilty to charges levelled against him.
In his complaint, BJP MLA Purnesh Modi alleged that Gandhi, while addressing the poll rally in 2019, defamed the entire Modi community by purportedly saying, "How come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname?" Modi was a minister in the first tenure of the Bhupendra Patel government. The ruling party legislator was re-elected from the Surat West Assembly seat in the December elections.
The final arguments resumed in the case last month after the Gujarat High Court vacated its stay on proceedings imposed on plea by the complainant demanding Gandhi's personal appearance.
The lawyer for the complainant argued that CDs and pen drive containing the materials on Gandhi's Kolar speech established that the Congress MP indeed made the Modi surname remarks, and his utterances defamed the community.
Gandhi's lawyer has argued that the court proceedings were "flawed" from the beginning as procedure laid down under section 202 of the CrPC (Code of Criminal Procedure) was not followed. The CrPC section deals with postponement of issue of process.
The lawyer also argued that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and not MLA Purnesh Modi, should have been the complainant in the case because the PM was the main target of Gandhi's speech.

Pawan Kumar Sharma, a miniature artist uses betel nuts as his canvas to carve a number of things

Pawan Kumar Sharma, an artist from Gujarat&rsquo;s Surat, made use of the lockdown period to carve miniatures on betel nuts.
Sharma uses betel nuts to carve a number of artefacts. Initially, it used to take him 2-3 hours to carve just one letter since betel nuts are hard, but with practise he has become faster.
He's created a number of things on the betel nuts including Lord Ganesha, corona warriors and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
