According to an official, the seizure was made after a family was intercepted on the basis of profiling.
They arrived at Mumbai Airport on September 12 from Singapore.
The official said that the gold dust was cleverly concealed in the innerwear and diaper.
“The recovered gold dust was confiscated under the provisions of Section 110 of the Customs Act, and the passengers were subsequently arrested under Section 104 of the Customs Act,” the official said.
