Gold has been seized by the DRI in the Paste form worth Rs 25Crore

In a remarkable operation, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has made an extraordinary gold seizure at Surat International Airport. The authorities confiscated a staggering 48.2 kg of gold paste, valued at around ₹25 crore, from three passengers arriving from Sharjah and an airport official. This breakthrough not only led to the dismantling of a well-organized smuggling syndicate but also uncovered an intricate web of illicit activities within the airport. The arrests and the recovery of abandoned gold have shed light on the extent of this operation. The ongoing investigation aims to expose the entire network and ensure that those responsible face justice. This incident serves as a strong message to individuals involved in illegal activities and highlights the unwavering commitment of Indian law enforcement agencies to protect the nation’s economy and uphold its border security.
