Thiruvananthapuram: Following the arrest of two Air India Express cabin crew members for alleged gold smuggling, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has intensified its investigation, suspecting the involvement of additional crew members in the crime.
Earlier, the DRI arrested 26-year-old Surabhi Khatun, a native of Kolkata and Suhail Thanalot (33), a resident of Thillankeri in Kannur related to the gold smuggling case.
