Two women were arrested from Bihar’s Gaya international airport for smuggling ten kilograms of marijuana, officials said on Thursday.
Both women were detained and questioned. “The arrested women were identified as Simranjeet and Kulvinder. Both are reportedly residents of Punjab. Their permanent addresses are being investigated. A group of six people went to Thailand four days ago.
The shipment, hidden in four separate bags, is valued approximately at around ₹ 10 crore in the international market. When their goods were thoroughly searched, about 10 kilograms of marijuana, hidden smartly in four separate bags was detected after which both were arrested.
The other four members of the group have not yet reached the Gaya airport,” said the officials. A joint team of customs and Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel arrested them when they arrived from Thailand at the Gaya Airport on Wednesday. Two women from the same group arrived on Wednesday with a shipment of narcotics.
