Gold smuggling: Incredible and sometimes hilarious methods of gold smugglers.

Gold smuggling is an art as much as a dare. Gold smugglers keep finding innovative and sometimes hilarious ways to bring this precious metal into India and have used similar modus operandi in Japan as well. When the Modi government raised import duty on gold to 10%, suddenly the smuggling that had once almost died down, resurfaced. This fun video brings you the economics of the process; the profit, the cost and the perils of getting caught and tells you about a hit movie inspired by the real life of a gold smuggler. Enjoy the limerick at the end.
