Mumbai Customs Arrests Two Bangkok Passengers for Smuggling Hydroponic Weed

Two men who flew home to Mumbai from Bangkok got into trouble with the police at the airport.

They are childhood friends and had travelled together.

Customs officers stopped them because they had information that something might be hidden.

The officers examined their trolley bags and found packets hidden in secret spaces inside the bags.

The packets contained a plant called hydroponic weed, which is against the law in India.

The weed weighed about as much as a large bag of sugar.

The men said they carried it because someone promised them a free trip to Bangkok.

They told officers they knew the packages were there.

The police are still looking for the other people involved in the plan.

Now the two friends are in trouble with the law.
