Gold biscuits worth Rs 7 crore seized at Patna Junction

Upon thorough investigation, authorities discovered a staggering 12.57 kg of foreign gold biscuits valued at Rs 7crore  in the possession of the smugglers.

The gold biscuits were cleverly concealed within a waistband worn by one of the apprehended individuals.

It is believed that both individuals were attempting to transport the illicit gold consignment to Delhi. The successful interception and subsequent seizure of the smuggled gold serve as a significant blow to the illegal trade network involved in cross-border smuggling activities.

The operation was carried out jointly by law enforcement agencies and authorities responsible for maintaining the security of railways. Their collaborative efforts, based on actionable intelligence, played a crucial role in the apprehension of the smugglers and the recovery of the smuggled gold.

The seized gold, with its estimated value in crores, underscores the magnitude of the illicit trade and the importance of robust measures to counter such smuggling attempts. This successful operation sends a strong message to smugglers and criminal networks involved in illegal trade, highlighting the commitment of the authorities to combat organized smuggling activities.

Further investigation is underway to determine the full extent of the smuggling network and identify any potential links to transnational criminal syndicates. Authorities are actively working to dismantle such networks and ensure the perpetrators face stringent legal action.
