Agartala: The Border Security Force (BSF) 81 Battalion seized two kilograms and 177 grams of gold, valued at approximately Rs 1.74 crore from NC Nagar in India-Bangladesh border. The BSF 81 Battalion is stationed in Sonamura under Sepahijala District.
‘We received an input stating that there was a possibility of gold smuggling through the NC Nagar border. To intercept this, we quickly set up an ambush with my team. Our operation lasted from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM. At 8:45, 2-3 Bangladeshi smugglers crossed the border and entered our side, discarding some items toward the border. We waited for a person from our side to retrieve the items, and as soon as he did, our ACP issued a challenge call. We immediately rushed toward the area, but due to heavy fog, the smugglers managed to flee,’ said Assistant Commandant, BSF 81 Battalion, Somil Vohra.
