Customs officials arrested one person
with 170 gold bars weighing 1.395 kilogram worth about Taka 70 lakh at Hazrat
Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) in Dhaka on Saturday, customs said.
The arrested man Emdadul Halat Khan, 35,
arrived here by an Air Arabia flight (G-9517) from Sharjah at 10am yesterday
and went to the airport this morning to receive his baggage, assistant

“The gold bars were concealed in his
luggage and customs officials identified the gold after scanning the bag,” she
added.
He was handed over to Airport police and
