Sir! Those are 24 girls. Everyone is very beautiful. Everyone has got their flights booked from Nairobi. Will reach Mumbai airport in next six to seven hours. Check your phone, a photo has been sent.
You see, these girls will make your luck. This was not a normal conversation, but an intel given by an informer to an officer posted in the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI). In this, a big conspiracy was pointed out in Intel through code words like ‘Khubsoorat’ and ‘Kismat’.
Then what, these DRI officers started developing this intel. Time was short, so many DRI teams were immediately sent towards Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai. As soon as a team reached the airport, it started its ‘Operation Dhahabu Blitz’. Started collecting information about flights coming from Nairobi. At all the aerobridges where flights coming from Nairobi were about to take off, the DRI team in plain clothes stood in front. Meanwhile, analysis of passenger manifests of all flights coming from Nairobi was also started.
- Through this passenger manifest, the DRI team was trying to find out whether there was any PNR in which tickets of 24 female passengers were booked simultaneously.
- No such PNR was found in the passenger manifest, but some concrete clues were definitely found. On the basis of these clues, the DRI team laid siege.
- After a short wait, the flight coming from Nairobi landed at Mumbai Airport. Passengers started deboarding the flight one by one. The DRI teams were keeping an eye on everyone.
- Suddenly some girls came out of the flight, whose clothes matched those of the girls in the photo sent by the informer. The DRI team started chasing these girls.
- The next challenge before the DRI was to identify all the 24 girls involved in this gang. This work had to be done in such a way that no one would be aware of it.
- The DRI team chased these girls and reached the baggage belt. These girls had started talking to each other through gestures on the baggage belt.
- By now the DRI team had completed the identification of all the girls. All the DRI teams gathered near the Green Channel and started waiting for these girls.
- As soon as these girls who came from Nairobi reached the Custom Green Channel, the DRI team stopped them at the Green Channel for search.
