Chennai

According to sources, the passenger, Rahmat (31),a native of Hyderabad, who was acting as a courier for an international group of smugglers, arrived by an Indigo Airlines flight from Dubai at 0530 hrs. On suspicion Customs officials examined his suitcase. They found ten gold biscuits which Rahmat had concealed in a secret chamber. They also wanted to know why Rahmat had taken a flight to Chennai when Dubai was well connected with Hyderabad through many airline services.

During further questioning after the gold biscuits were seized, Rahmat informed them that although his ancestors hailed from the Telangana state capital of Hyderabad, he lived in Chennai.
