Bokaro: A special police team arrested seven persons and recovered 6kg of uranium from them following raids at different parts of the city on Thursday. Bokaro SP Chandan Kumar Jha said, “We have seized the yellow substance and will send it to experts for tests. Uranium is a highly radioactive substance used at nuclear facilities.”
Police said the accused, suspected to be part of national gang involved in illegal uranium trade, were searching for customers and had fixed its price at Rs 50 lakhs per kg. Notably, a kilo of uranium sells for around Rs 18 crores in the global market, sources said. This is for the first time uranium has been seized in this industrial town.
India's anti-terror agency arrested two local individuals after they were found in possession of more than seven kilogrammes of natural uranium.
