Acting on a tip-off, police raided a jewellery shop in Pokhara city and arrested its owner Surjit Singh, 40, for smuggling gold and silver.

The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has busted a "corporate-style" smuggling syndicate and seized eight kg of gold, about 74 kg of silver jewellery and three kg of narcotics from a bus on way to Kolkata from Siliguri, an official statement said today.

A Railway Protection Force (RPF) team of Northern Railway arrested three people on-board Telangana Express with a cache of silver worth Rs 75 lakh.

The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has arrested three men and seized gold and silver worth crores of rupees from them, believed to have been smuggled into the country from neighbouring Nepal, according to an official statement issued Thursday.

A Delhi-based jeweller jumped to his death from the building of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence or DRI, where he had gone on Wednesday in connection with alleged gold smuggling, according to an official statement.

Six crude gold rods coated with silver and two gold coins, together worth Rs 13.33 lakh, were seized from a man who arrived in Kochi today by a flight from Dubai, customs officials said.

Government sources said the likely hike in gold and silver import duties could lead to increase in smuggling but it has enough tools to tackle the problem.
