NEW DELHI: Delhi Customs officials at the Indira Gandhi International Airport have seized 34,935 grams of suspected hydroponic marijuana from two passengers who arrived from Bangkok on flight TG-323, officials said on Thursday.

The contraband was detected after the passengers were flagged through the Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) profiling and intercepted by Customs officers after they crossed the Green Channel at the airport.

According to officials, the passengers came under suspicion during routine profiling procedures carried out by Customs authorities. Their baggage was subsequently subjected to X-ray screening, during which suspicious images were noticed by officials.

A detailed examination of the luggage led to the recovery of 31 vacuum-sealed packets containing a substance suspected to be hydroponic weed, commonly referred to as ganja or marijuana.

In an official statement, Delhi Customs said, "On the basis of APIS profiling, two passengers travelling from Bangkok to Delhi by Flight No. TG-323 dated 08.05.2026 were intercepted by Customs officers after crossing the Customs Green Channel at Indira Gandhi International Airport."
