BSF intercepts gold smuggling attempt at Bangladesh border

The Border Security Force (BSF) just stopped a big gold smuggling attempt at the Bangladesh-India border in South Bengal.
Acting on a tip-off, they caught a man trying to sneak in with one gold bar and 16 biscuits—altogether weighing about 2.451kg and valued at nearly ₹2.43 crore.

TL;DR

Smuggler was supposed to deliver the gold at Bangaon bus stand

The arrest happened near the Lakshmipur Border Outpost.
When questioned, the smuggler said he got the gold from someone in Laxmipur village and was supposed to hand it off to another person at Bangaon bus stand.
This quick action by BSF highlights how sharp their intelligence work is when it comes to stopping illegal cross-border activities.
