The surveillance and observation revealed they were carrying two brand-new geysers, in addition to their checked-in baggage.“During interrogation and scrutiny, officers had suspicions regarding the contents of the geysers. The appliances were therefore subjected to a second X-ray examination, which indicated the possibility of concealed material hidden within their internal structure,” said a senior customs official. Dismantling of both the geysers led to the discovery of packets inside.“A total of 145 packets were recovered. Examination of the packets revealed a green leafy substance suspected to be hydroponic weed (ganja),” said the official.The gross weight of the recovered narcotic substance was found to be 15.3 kg and customs said the estimated illicit market value of the seized contraband is approximately ₹5.38 crore.“The recovered narcotic substance has been seized under the provisions of the NDPS Act, 1985, and both passengers have been placed under arrest. Further investigation is underway.” the official added.
