WHY DIDNT HE TAKE A NOTE FROM A POLITICIAN TO PASS CUSTOMS. ONLY POLITICIANS DONT COME UNDER CUSTOMS OR OTHER STATUTORY REGULATIONS.

All of a sudden a plethora of customs detection of gold smuggling. Something fishy here don't you think?

POOR GUY.
HE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A LETTER FROM THE PM OFFICE.

It is inconceivable that this plethora of gold and gem smuggling started only of late. Were they once allowed to pass through with a nod and a wink?

Customs have been asleep all these years.....

Absolutely right - BUT still he can get by if he is ready to share the bulk with Gota - or anyone from Rajapakses brothers
