Guilty In Court
A company manager in Hongkong tried to persuade a Boac air hostess to smuggle $21,000 worth of gold into India, it was stated at Central Magistracy this morning.
Mr D. R. Harris, Assistant Superintendent of Police, in prosecuting against the manager before Mr I. T. Morris, also revealed that "the Director of Revenue Intelligence in New Delhi had informed Boac that the company would be prosecuted under Indian Law should the smuggling of gold by members of its staff into the country continue."
