A traveller attempting to fly from Surat to Bangkok was intercepted this week after officers uncovered polished diamonds worth Rs.43.97 lakh (about USD 53,000) hidden inside their luggage.

Acting on a tip-off, customs personnel at Surat Airport searched the passenger’s suitcase on 5 December and found 154.81 carats of diamonds, along with USD 6,000 in cash. Both were confiscated under provisions of the Customs Act, 1962.

Officials  have also withheld all personal details of the traveller, including identity, nationality and age.

India does not impose export duty on diamonds, yet smuggling remains a recurring issue. Traders sometimes bypass official channels to avoid the required declarations concerning the stones’ origin, value, and intended destination.

Kalyan Jewellers Celebrates ‘Bangaliana’ with Soulful Poila Boishakh Campaign

Celebrating Bengal’s Heritage, The Campaign Blends Nostalgia, Tradition, and Craftsmanship Through Storytelling and Timeless Jewellery

Kalyan Jewellers, one of India’s most trusted jewellery brands, has unveiled a new digital campaign to mark Poila Boishakh, the Bengali New Year. Featuring actress Ritabhari Chakraborty, the film is a heartfelt ode to Bengal’s cultural identity, bringing together nostalgia, craftsmanship and the enduring legacy of traditions passed down through generations.

At the heart of the film is a tender interaction between Ritabhari and a young boy, centred around the iconic ‘Talpatar Sepai,’ a traditional palm-leaf toy that reflects Bengal’s artistic roots. As the moment unfolds, the toy becomes a subtle symbol of the region’s craftsmanship and cultural memory, drawing a connection between childhood nostalgia and the finesse of handcrafted gold jewellery. The narrative then moves to a poignant moment where an elder presents a gold necklace, capturing the emotional value of jewellery in Bengali households, where each piece is not just worn, but cherished as a symbol of love, tradition and continuity. It reflects how jewellery often carries personal histories, passed down through generations as an enduring link between the past and the present.

Built around the theme “Oitijhyer Choway Notuner Boron” (welcoming the new with a touch of tradition), the campaign reinforces Kalyan Jewellers’ positioning at the intersection of cultural legacy and contemporary relevance. The brand also showcases a curated range of traditional designs inspired by Bengal’s intricate craftsmanship and grand aesthetic sensibilities.

Reinforcing its commitment to trust and transparency, Kalyan Jewellers continues to offer its signature 4-Level Assurance Certificate, ensuring purity certification, lifetime maintenance, transparent product details, and secure buy-back policies. This initiative provides customers with complete confidence during the auspicious gold-buying season.

With this campaign, Kalyan Jewellers invites consumers to celebrate the spirit of Poila Boishakh by embracing jewellery not just as adornment, but as a living expression of heritage and storytelling.
