Troops of the Border Security Force (BSF), 11th Battalion of the South Bengal Frontier, foiled a major smuggling attempt and arrested two Indian nationals carrying illegal gold worth over Rs 1.05 crore near the India-Bangladesh international border in West Bengal.
Acting on specific and credible intelligence, BSF jawans deployed at Border Outpost (BOP) Vijaymath in Nadia district formed a special team on August 4 to intercept the smugglers, who were reportedly travelling by bus from Karimpur to Krishnanagar.
At approximately 10 am, the BSF team spotted the suspected bus in the Mahisbathan area. After confirming the bus number matched the intelligence inputs, troops swiftly intercepted the vehicle and detained two individuals based on prior identification.
