Nine Sri Lankan citizens were briefly detained on Wednesday at the Hyderabad airport for allegedly attempting to smuggle gold approximately worth Rs 3.8 crore.
Officials of the Air Intelligence Unit of Hyderabad Customs at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport intercepted the nine passengers who arrived on the Sri Lankan Airlines flight UL-175, and found them to have concealed 33 capsules of gold paste in their rectums. Each capsule had 100-160g of gold, the Indian Express reported.
The officials also recovered 18 such capsules in a bag that the flyers had allegedly carried with them and left unclaimed. The total gold recovered weighs 7.304 kg.
Each of the accused was carrying about 450-700g of gold, and since the value of the gold individually smuggled by each person does not exceed Rs 50 lakh, they were let off after serving notices to cooperate with the investigation,” an official told indianexpress.com.
The flyers are aged between 20 and 60 years and hail from Colombo. “Some of them had visited Hyderabad last month too. On suspicion, we examined their belongings and questioned them. They had no particular reasons to visit Hyderabad. Some were on tourist visas whereas others had business visas,” the official said.

This gold should not be confiscated as it is a health hazard and could spread infectious diseases like Covid-19 , Omicron and Monkey pox which will spread like wildfire in Sri Lanka and cost many lives.

This is how these Sri Lankans with greedy minds to get rich in double quick times use their anal passage as a storage point. Ultimately they damage the intricately designed anal passage and they won't be able to control the anal spinster.

Maybe they tried to plug their rectums. After all, for Sri Lankans, rectum is a useless body part. Without food to eat, what is the use of the rectum?
