Overview

• Troops of the 146 Battalion at Charbhadra acted on specific intelligence to search fields near the border in Murshidabad, part of a string of recent interdictions in the sector.
• Eight biscuits weighing 832.550 grams, valued at about Rs 1.09 crore, were recovered from the site.
• The cache was hidden beneath an unusually piled patch of grass with the biscuits wrapped in red cloth to avoid detection.
• The seized gold was brought to the outpost and handed to the concerned department for further legal proceedings.
• Officials said the smugglers have not yet been identified, and they urged residents to share tips via the Seema Sathi helpline 14419 or WhatsApp 9903472227 with rewards offered.
