PATNA: Gold smugglers appear to be using the state as a transit point for bringing in the yellow metal into the country from Myanmar. With the seizure of six gold bars worth Rs.1.56 crore from a hotel in Muzaffarpur on Friday, the cache of smuggled gold seized in the past six months has gone up to Rs 7.5 crore.
On Friday, Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) officials seized six gold bars weighing 3 kg valued and arrested two smugglers from a hotel at Bairia Chowk in Muzaffarpur town.
The smugglers were at the hotel since December 16 and were to leave for New Delhi by a private bus from where they were supposed to go to Bikaner in Rajasthan to deliver the consignment. They had booked their seats in the Delhi-bound bus from Muzaffarpur.
