An Indian citizen, Ronak Madani, has been apprehended at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport on charges of gold smuggling, police reported on Wednesday.
Madani's suspicious behavior during a security check led officers to take him to a hospital where an x-ray revealed he was concealing three gold packets inside his body.
The gold, weighing a total of 835 grams, was reportedly smuggled on a flight from Mumbai. Authorities have turned Madani over to the Customs Department for a thorough investigation.
