The customs team of Chennai airport intercepted a male passenger carrying rare species of animals, said the officials.
The passenger had arrived from Bangkok on a TG-337 flight. According to reports the monkey was hidden in a chocolate box inside the checked-in baggage of the passenger. Local media reported that the officials held Mohammed Shahiel who came from Bangkok by Thai Airways flight.
Post examinations, the officials recovered one De Brazza monkey, fifteen king snakes, five ball pythons and two Aldabra Tortoises from the checked-in baggage.
