Five Indians, including a college student, have been arrested in southwestern Kunming city for allegedly trying to smuggle 27kg of hashish into China, a charge that could lead to severe punishment. The officials conducted a search when their newly upgraded scanning machine showed small, black tightly wound packets inside the zipped bags of bhujia. On closer inspection, the officials found hashish hidden inside around 60 packets of the popular snack. Officials became suspicious when they saw the trio carrying three bulky bags with new laptop bags inside them. A scan of the laptop bags – around 80 in number - revealed the hashish though the contraband was cleverly wrapped in carbon paper.
