Two passengers who had brought a sizeable quantity of ketamine hydrochloride to be smuggled into Malaysia sneaked out of the airport here early on Monday after Customs officials, on suspicion, confiscated one of their checked-in boxes.
Airport sources said that the duo came to board a Kuala Lumpur-bound Malaysian Airlines flight around 1.30 a.m.
Customs authorities said they had not taken the ketamine into custody as they were looking into the security lapse. They had asked the airlines to explain how the passengers came to know about the Customs action. A senior Customs official said explanation had also been sought from CISF, and Airports Authority of India officials.
