Mangaluru: A man who was allegedly trying to smuggle 10 kilograms of ganja, concealed inside pumpkins was apprehended by the CISF at the Mangaluru International airport On Friday, May 18.

The arrested, KTK Basheer who was supposed to board a flight to Doha has been handed over to the customs authorities.

During the routine security screening of the baggage, the CISF personnel detected images of large round-shaped objects in Basheer’s cabin bag at about 4.15 pm. On opening the bag it was found that it contained three pumpkins.

Since this was a bit unusual the CISF personnel grew suspicious and cut open the pumpkins to find 10 kg of marijuana placed in plastic wrappers inside.
