During the search, 12.5 kg of gold jewelry was recovered from the occupants, valued at more than Rs 8 crore. The news of such a substantial haul quickly reached higher police officials, who rushed to the scene to question the car's occupants about the origins of the gold. However, the individuals could not provide satisfactory answers.
Consequently, the police have notified the GST Department about the incident. Investigations are actively underway. SP Trigun Vishan noted, "During our check, a luxury vehicle was found carrying 12.5 kg of gold jewelry." The GST and Income Tax departments have been informed, and the two individuals in the car remain in police custody.
This significant bust occurred on Monday night on the Yamuna Expressway when Mathura police were collaborating with the excise team to investigate liquor smuggling. Amid this operation, a suspicious vehicle from Noida was halted and checked. The examination revealed dubious packages, which, upon opening, unveiled gold ornaments, leaving the officials on-site astonished.
