DRI Arrests Two, Raids Katni Jeweller Over Gold
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) stopped two men at Katni railway station because they were carrying gold that came from a foreign country.
The DRI took about 748 grams of gold biscuits from them.
They also found a gold bar and other pieces at a jewelry shop called Goenka Jewellers.
