The two smugglers with 74 gold biscuits and three gold bars were arrested in two separate operations.

In the first operation, based on a tip-off, troops of the 179 Battalion BSF were checking vehicles at the ICP Petrapole and around 11.15 a.m. on Monday.

The total value of the seized gold biscuits and bars was estimated to be Rs 5,98,54,165.

Also on Monday, at Border Out Post Jayantipur under 158 Battalion, BSF troops were during routine checking and stopped a suspected motorcyclist for search.
