The owner of the company that rents out space for shops at Chennai airport is reportedly under the Customs department scanner over a gold smuggling racket. GA Prithvi, the Managing Director of Vidvedaa PRG, which owns the rights to renting out space for shops at the Chennai International Airport, is a former state executive member of the Tamil Nadu BJP Youth Wing and is believed to be close to several top BJP leaders both in Tamil Nadu and in Delhi. Prithvi rented out space inside the airport’s transit area to Sabir Ali, the main accused in the gold smuggling case to run the Airhub shop from February 2024. This was despite the fact that Sabir, a Chennai-based KZbinr, did not have any prior experience in running such a shop. Though GA Prithvi has denied any link to this smuggling racket, troubling questions have emerged as to how a Sri Lankan syndicate was operating out of a high security zone inside Chennai Airport since February 2024. The New Indian Express Special Correspondent Siddharth Prabhakar speaks to TNM’s Shabbir Ahmed on the Modus Operandi employed by the smugglers.

First have to catch and search Annamalai before he flees to London

[@prasanaravindranumas]

Great Job Siddharth!!

[@pbrpb4735]

Gold is expensive in India due to taxes. Smuggling will continue unless taxes are reduced. Shabbir and the Indian Express have done a great job on this story. Please continue your reporting.

100% sure without knowledge of the TN ruling party nothing is happening. Anyone can register in any party. None of you talked about drug scandal and DMK links but anything slightly linking to BJP you guys will spend 1 hour on it. Also the shop owner's name is Mohammad Shabbir Ali

[@rti5897]

Are you not restricting only upto Shabbir ali level? and trying to shield influencing people related to the scam!

So, Chennai Customs is doing all fine. The most corrupt at Chennai Airport is Chennai Customs. How does this kiddo journo turn a blind eye towards Customs. Shame!

Every man is capable of crime, not all muslims are good people, not all hindu are good people not all Christian people are good people. However a muslim, hindu and Christian person can be a good human being. The common denominator is a human being who is capable of crime and doing good. The choice is of the human being. Today you are not born as a thulukkan, but in your or my next life you and I can be born as a thulukan. So dont spread hate like this. Karma philosophy can make us be born as Christian, Muslim or sikh we dont know.

[@senthilkumaran9732]

Anjalai Muslim pennaa?

[@Vandemataram83]

@@senthilkumaran9732Ilai Thambi Hindu Ekka. But dont have hate and dont prescribe to the hate thats being propagated in the name of Hinduism. Shakuni to stay in power put hate in Duryodhan what happened karuna ( compassion) is reduced. Doesnt matter if I am hindu or muslim, this life we may be Hindu next life we may be Muslim we dont know what karmas we have to do to learn advaitham when we realise we are all God and come from God.
