The passenger was traveling on a Batik Air flight that originated in Malaysia and made an airport landing in Trichy. After seeing something strange about Moideen’s luggage, the customs officers stopped him at the airport.
Airport authorities conducted a comprehensive investigation before shockingly discovering live lizards of diverse species hidden in a number of perforated boxes. The airport administration then alerted the forest officials, who quickly traveled to the spot for more interrogation.
47 pythons in total, as well as two lizards, were successfully retrieved from the hidden boxes by the forest officials. The forest department has started the process of sending these reptiles back to Malaysia, where they originally came from, in compliance with current regulations. It is being investigated into further.
