Kolkata: Smugglers are certainly getting more and more innovative when it comes to sneaking gold into the country. A few days ago, the customs department seized gold biscuits hidden inside a consignment of mobile phones at the NSCBI airport in Kolkata. On Wednesday, the 40 Bn of the Border Security Force (BSF) seized 2.8 kg of the precious metal stashed inside the tyres of a bicycle. The haul was valued at more than Rs 82 lakh.
"There has been a spurt of gold smuggling from across the border in the last few months. In the last six months, the BSF's South Bengal Frontier seized nearly nine kgs of gold being smuggled into India from Bangladesh," an official said.
