According to CISF official, on a tip off, the CISF surveillance and intelligence team at Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport found a black laptop bag lying unattended inside the gents' washroom near international transfer area of terminal-3. The gold bars, each weighing about 1 kg were recovered by the CISF late last night from a bathroom in the Terminal-3 of the IGI airport.
