MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi, who is gearing up for his upcoming streaming series ‘Taskaree: The Smuggler’s Web’, has lauded the customs department.

The actor spoke with IANS recently, and lavished praise on the customs department for their research and groundwork.

He told IANS, “I think they do a lot of good to our country as far as our economy goes. I think when there are dutiful products that are brought into the country, and the duty is not paid, that costs our local market a hell of a lot of money. So they have to be on the ball constantly over there. And also at the edge of chaos because the things that come through those belts, it could be anything from maybe taking some items away, which could lead to probably a terrorist attack, making a bomb, to flooding your streets with drugs”.
