The Border Security Force on Thursday seized gold valued at Rs 86 lakh and Bangladeshi Taka worth Rs 6 lakh on the India-Bangladesh border in West Bengal’s Nadia district, according to a BSF statement.
Acting on a tip-off, the troops of Border Outpost Banpur, 54 Battalion, under South Bengal Frontier launched an operation and seized nine gold biscuits, nineteen gold chips, and a gold chain. “They also recovered six lakh Bangladeshi Taka, which were being smuggled from Bangladesh to India,” the statement said.
“While on duty, the jawans noticed two smugglers from the Bangladesh side approaching the border fence. The smugglers quickly ran away after throwing some goods over the wall. The jawans immediately reached the spot and confiscated the goods, which included two packets of brown colour and two packets of white colour. The brown packet contained Bangladeshi Taka, and the white packet contained gold,” the BSF statement said.
“The seized goods were handed over to the Customs Office in Banpur for further legal action,” it added.
