NEW DELHI, Feb. 7 -- Delhi customs have arrested two men at Indira Gandhi International airport, who were allegedly carrying 10 kg of gold coins worth Rs.7.8 crore.
Officials said the two Indian nationals, aged 45 and 43, were arriving from Milan, Italy and had hidden the gold in specially designed waist belts.
