Nagpur : In a decisive crackdown on smuggling, the Customs Department at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport, Nagpur, thwarted an attempt to illegally import foreign-origin cigarettes on Sunday morning.

Acting on specific intelligence and under the guidance of Avinash Thete, Commissioner of Customs, Nagpur, officers from the Air Intelligence Unit (AIU) and Air Customs Unit (ACU) closely monitored passengers arriving from Sharjah. Their vigilance paid off when two passengers, Mohammad Zaki and Abdul Zahid, who arrived on Air Arabia Flight G9-415, drew suspicion. Both men were carrying three bags each and attempted to pass through the green channel meant for passengers without dutiable items.
