Two Indian men were arrested with two kilograms of gold from Bhairahawa in the district on Wednesday.

A team of the Armed Police Force (APF), acting on a tip off, arrested Hariom Kumar and Sujit Kumar while smuggling the gold bar into India from Kathmandu, said Deputy Superintendent of Police of APF Shankar Khanal.

The arrestees along with the confiscated gold bar were later handed over to Bhairahawa-based Behiya Customs Office for investigation, he said.

The customs office said that investigations into the case were on. RSS
