Online Desk: India’s Border Security Force (BSF) and Director of Revenue Intelligence recovered 14.296kg of gold biscuits valued at 8.5 crore Indian rupees from a house in West Bengal’s Nadia district, which shares a border with Bangladesh.

The BSF said two persons, including the owner of the house, were arrested in this connection, reports our New Delhi correspondent. Acting on a tip-off, BSF and DRI personnel launched an operation on Saturday night and found 106 gold biscuits in the house at Vijaypur village close to the international border.

During interrogation, the two arrestees said they got the contraband from two Bangladeshis on Saturday morning and they were supposed to hand it over to someone at Gede in the same district, according to the BSF. Their attempt, however, failed due to tight surveillance of the BSF and they were compelled to keep the gold in the house of one of the two arrestees.
