New Customs House, Mumbai

In the era of organised smuggling rackets of notorious dons, Bapu Laxman would carry out his surveillance incognito and the intelligence gathered would culminate in seizure of contraband goods. Bapu Laxman Lamkhande joined Customs Preventive Services of Mumbai Customs as a sepoy at the age of 20. He was a brave, honest, dedicated and devoted soldier of Bombay Customs who fought relentlessly against smuggling.
He was twice conferred with the President’s Award for his meritorious services. The customs not only gave him appreciation certificates but bestowed the ultimate honour on him by installing his bust size figure at the chowk adjacent to Custom House and naming the chowk after him. He died while in service.
Mumbai Customs pays homage to this iconic hero on his 42nd death anniversary.
