The gold was concealed in the diapers and towels of the babies with the 2 couples.
At least 16 kg gold biscuits hidden in baby diapers were today recovered from a group of fliers from Dubai at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi.
Officials said the recovery was made around 7:00 am when a group of six passengers, who arrived in New Delhi from Dubai, were intercepted by security agencies for a thorough check.
"Gold biscuits weighing about 16 kg have been recovered from the passengers. The sixteen gold biscuits, of 1 kg each, were found cleverly concealed in the diapers and towels of the two babies they were carrying. The two groups comprising a couple and a baby each are from Surat," they said.
The fliers are being interrogated by customs officials, they added.
