A prolonged vigil along the India-Bangladesh border led to a massive gold haul in West Bengal, with the BSF seizing 15 kg 607 grams of gold worth an estimated ₹24 crore 95 lakh 56 thousand and detaining a woman suspected of involvement in the smuggling operation.

The seizure was made in the Banpur border area of Nadia after personnel from the 32nd Battalion of the BSF, acting on a tip-off, launched an operation in the area.
