The examination of an intercepted container found 63,16,000 cigarettes. The consignment was seized which was attempted to be smuggled by mis-declaring it as "PP Sports Flooring" material in the import documents, an official said.

A unique modus operandi was adopted by smugglers who declared the consignment containing "sports flooring". "One of the masterminds has been arrested by the Customs officials and further investigation is underway," the official added.
