Actress Detained at Airport with Gold Worth Tk 6.9 Million
Gold weighing 733 grams, valued at approximately Tk 6.9 million was recovered from two passengers including an actress at Chattogram's Shah Amanat International Airport.
The two passengers were detained on Saturday (December 7) at around 9:50 am by the NSI Chattogram Airport team and customs intelligence officers.
The detained individuals are Anamika Juthi, a drama actress from Mirpur, Dhaka, and Mohammad Raihan Iqbal from Raozan, Chattogram. The information was confirmed by Shah Amanat International Airport's Public Relations Officer, Engineer Mohammad Ibrahim Khalil.
He stated that based on confidential information, a search was conducted, leading to the discovery of pure gold items resembling bracelets, chains, and white gold chains. The market value of the seized gold is Tk 6.896 million. Anamika Juthi had concealed the bracelets on her wrists using scotch tape and cleverly hid the chains around her neck. Additionally, the gold jewelry was carried in their handbags.
Airport sources reported that the two passengers arrived at Shah Amanat International Airport in Chattogram at 9:35 am on a Biman Bangladesh Airlines BG-148 flight (Dubai-Chattogram-Dhaka) from Dubai. However, as they were passengers bound for Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka, aviation regulations required their transfer to the airport team there via the same flight.
