BGB Seizes 60 Gold Bars in Jashore

Members of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) seized 60 gold bars, worth Tk 4.96 crore, from Shahzatpur border in Chougachha Upazila of Jashore district early Saturday.               

Tipped off, a team of BGB-49 conducted a drive in the area and recovered the gold bars left abandoned in the area, said Lieutenant Colonel Mohammad Selim Reza, commanding officer of BGB-49, reports media.

In this connection, however, no one was arrested as the smuggler managed to escape the scene sensing the presence of border guards.

The confiscated goods have been transferred to the Jashore Customs.
