NEW DELHI: Airport officials in south India foiled an attempt to smuggle six endangered primates from Malaysia into India and sent the seized wildlife back to Kuala Lumpur .
Four siamang gibbons and two northern pig-tailed macaques were confiscated from an Indian passenger flying from Kuala Lumpur to Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport on Sunday night. "The primates have been flown back to Malaysia on Monday . We have observed a rising trend in the smuggling of exotic species into Bengaluru over the past year," the New Indian Express newspaper quoted an Indian customs official as saying in a report on Tuesday ."The six primates were stuffed between chocolates and clothes inside a single trolley suitcase, which he had checked in at the time of boarding," the official said.
In November last year, customs officials at Bengaluru airport seized 40 rare and endangered animals -including different species of tortoises, beaded lizards, shingleback skinks, juvenile rhinoceros iguanas, and agile gibbons - being smuggled into India from Malaysia.
