The Border Security Force has seized gold biscuits worth Rs 1.09 crore from near the Bangladesh border in West Bengal's Murshidabad district, the paramilitary force said in a statement on Tuesday.

Acting on specific intelligence, the 146 Battalion of the BSF deployed at the Charbhadra Forward Border Outpost in Murshidabad district along the India-Bangladesh border seized eight gold biscuits on Monday night that had been concealed in a field near the border.

The seized gold, weighing 832.55 gm, is valued at approximately Rs 1.09 crore, it said.

During the search, BSF personnel spotted a patch of grass that appeared unusually piled up, and when the area was dug up, eight gold biscuits wrapped in a red cloth were found hidden underneath, the statement added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
