CISF troops have once again claimed to have uncovered a major conspiracy. When a person was searched, the soldiers found something so that the ED team had to be called to the airport immediately. Now many agencies are busy investigating the matter.
According to the information, CISF and ED have uncovered a big racket by conducting a joint operation at Gujarat Airport. Major steps have been taken at the airport in Gujarat. A huge amount of foreign currency has been recovered from an Indian citizen who returned from Singapore. The detained person has been identified as Tejas Patel. The accused was detained after CISF found foreign currency while checking passengers. Since the investigation is a foreign exchange matter, CISF also informed the investigating agency ED about it. After this, the ED team reached the airport and started investigating the case.
The goods had come to India from Bangladesh, going to Gwalior via Gaya, so much gold had been found in the Creta car that even the officials were amazed.
He came to India from Singapore

A few days ago, the Customs Department had seized a large amount of gold while operating at the Jaipur Airport. The Customs Department team had caught a smuggler with 1.5 kg of gold, and the smuggler had cleverly hidden the gold paste in his socks.
