While recent reports revealed how officials of the Air Intelligence Unit busted gold smugglers and seized the precious yellow metal, one of their own has been accused of colluding with the smugglers.

Abhay Chaudhary, the superintendent of Customs, is suspected to have been involved in a bid to smuggle in three kilograms of gold via a flight that landed from Singapore. Chaudhary’s phone was tapped based on specific information, and he was found speaking to some smugglers about the gold worth Rs 90 lakh.
