A stash of 24 gold bars worth more than $1.1m has been discovered in the toilet compartment of a commercial plane in eastern India.

Cleaners found the haul in two bags on board a Jet Airways flight at Kolkata airport, officials said.

India is one of the world's main gold consumers and imports are seen as a major contributor to the country's account deficit.

It recently raised duty on imports of gold jewellery to 15% from 10%.

Indians have sometimes been accused of crippling the economies of third world countries. When I served in the Yemen in the early 60's the Indian community, mostly business owners and shopkeepers, converted a sizeable proportion of their income into gold and sent it to India.
