Staff Correspondent
Customs officials at Zia International Airport (ZIA) yesterday seized gold chains weighing 5.5 kilograms worth over Tk 50 lakh from a Bangladesh Biman flight.No one, however, could be arrested in this connection as the officials found the gold chains after the passengers had got down. Tipped off about the gold, officials searched the BG 083 passenger aircraft that landed at ZIA at 9:23am from Kuala Lumpur and found the chains in an abandoned paper-packet. "We're trying to trace the passenger of the seat and those of the adjacent ones," Inspector Monsur Ali told The Daily Star last night. On November 8 this year, the customs officials seized Saudi riyal worth about Tk 1.7 crore from the luggage of an unidetified passenger of a Dubai bound Bangladesh Biman flight.
