Members of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) have arrested two suspected smugglers in possession of 30 gold bars in Jashore’s Benapole.

Customs officials have seized 20 gold bars weighing 2.3 kilogrammes at Osmani International Airport in Sylhet.

All it took was a phone call from India to Bangladesh and the process of smuggling 43kg gold, worth Tk 18 crore, began.

The Rapid Action Battalion on Sunday arrested six alleged members of a gold smuggling gang with 120 gold bars, weighing around 14kg, on two buses on Dhaka-Sylhet Highway in Narsingdi.
