Indians have insatiable appetite for Gold - watch these smugglers get caught!

Gujarat Police had made the single biggest seizure of gold smuggled into the country after arresting six people leaving the Ahmedabad airport with 60 kg of the precious metal flown in from Dubai.br br The arrest is likely to strengthen pressure on Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to cut the gold import duty from a record-high 10 percent in his budget on Saturday.br br India is the world's top buyer of gold, and the high duty has made illegal shipments profitable. The World Gold Council estimates that 175 tonnes of gold were smuggled into the country last year.br br "Smuggling is happening because of high customs duty on gold," said Prithviraj Kothari, executive director of the India Bullion & Jewellers' Association, adding that smuggling may rise in 2015 if import duties remain high.br br "If we want smuggling to become unattractive, the government should bring down duty to 2-4 percent."br br Five men and one woman were arrested outside the airport in Ahmedabad, police said.br br Of the six, three had arrived on an Emirates flight from Dubai while the others waited outside the Ahmedabad airport.br br This footage is part of the professionally-shot broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd., the largest collection of HD imagery from South Asia.
