According to an official from the Gittikhadan police station, Desai was under investigation for his alleged involvement in gold smuggling. Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding his death as part of their ongoing probe. “Deepak Machhindra Desai was arrested on June 14 from Sangli in a case involving the smuggling of gold from Dubai for sale in Uttar Pradesh. His associate was previously arrested after gold worth Rs 2 crore was discovered in a car traveling from Varanasi to Lucknow,” the official stated.

“On Sunday night, while Desai was being interrogated by DRI personnel, he jumped out of a window. He was immediately taken to the hospital where he succumbed to severe injuries. An accidental death case has been registered, and further investigation is underway,” the official added.

In a separate incident earlier this month, Customs officials apprehended a passenger at Pune International Airport after seizing gold paste valued at Rs 78 lakh concealed in a pipe under the seat of an aircraft. The passenger, arriving from Dubai on June 5, was apprehended based on profiling. Despite nothing objectionable being found in his personal search or baggage examination, the passenger’s suspicious behavior prompted further investigation. A Customs official stated, “Since the behavior of the passenger was very suspicious, he was questioned about any potential concealment in the aircraft. Subsequently, a packet of gold paste was found hidden in a pipe under the seat where he was seated.”
