In a successful operation, troops of the Border Security Force's (BSF) South Bengal Frontier apprehended a Bangladeshi woman passenger attempting to smuggle gold biscuits at the Integrated Check Post (ICP) in Petrapole, North 24 Parganas district.
Acting on a specific tip-off, the 145th Corps stationed at Petrapole conducted a search at the passenger terminal, leading to the discovery of three gold biscuits hidden in the woman's shoes.
The seized gold weighed 349.830 grams, with an estimated value of Rs 21.28 lakh. The woman, identified as Afiran (53) from Shariatpur district, Bangladesh, claimed that she was traveling to Chennai, Tamil Nadu, for medical treatment.
