The individual, hailing from Kasaragod and arriving from Dubai, was apprehended after customs officials discovered three oval-shaped pellets containing a paste-like substance hidden in his rectum.
Upon inspection, it was revealed that the pellets contained 729 grams of 24-carat gold, valued at approximately Rs 45,92,700.
