Two iPhones (Pro 128 GB) were also recovered from the individual's possession. As per the officials, "gold jewellery was found concealed on the body of the passenger; while the gold-cut piece of wire was concealed in amul butter, hanky, and clothes. The iPhones, on the other hand, were concealed in a handbag," customs officials added. (ANI)
