(District-North 24 Parganas)
On March 11, 2023, the troops of Border Out Post Ghojadanga, 153 Battalion, under South Bengal Frontier, received information about a man carrying a bucket heading towards the International Border. The jawans observed the person’s movement through binoculars and started chasing him. When the jawans challenged him to stop, he fled the spot.
After this, the jawans thoroughly searched the area and found a bucket in which 14 bundles (10 lakh) of Bangladeshi currency wrapped in T-shirts were recovered. The man was attempting to smuggle Bangladeshi Taka from India to Bangladesh.
The seized Bangladeshi currency was handed over to the Custom Office in Ghojadanga.
Expressing satisfaction over the success, the Commanding Officer of 153 Battalion, BSF, stated that their jawans are fully committed to stopping all types of cross-border crimes.
