The duo failed to produce valid documents or transaction details related to the transportation of the valuables. Consequently, the RPF detained them and informed the Income Tax Department, Nagpur, which is now carrying out further investigation and proceedings.
The operation was led by Inspector Kulwant Singh, with key contributions from Sub-Inspectors Rahul Pandey, Dharmendra Kumar, Vishal Thaware, Deepak Kumar, and Head Constable Mithilesh Chaubey.
The RPF has urged citizens to report any suspicious activities involving illegal transportation of cash, narcotics, gold, silver, or human trafficking through the railways.
