The Customs officials at the International Airport in Mumbai on Thursday arrested four passengers in four separate cases for allegedly trying to smuggle over three kilograms of gold worth Rs 1.48 crore.

According to the Customs officials, on Thursday night, four passengers were examined based on suspicion and the examination resulted in the recovery of 3.2 kilograms of gold. The passengers were then placed under arrest.
