He said a team from Chuadanga-6 BGB took positions at the railway station after receiving reports of gold smuggling activities in the area.
"At one point, a passenger train reached the station. BGB members stopped some people after seeing them making rounds of the area aimlessly. They were chased and later detained as they tried to flee," the BGB director added.
He further said BGB will file a case with Chuadanga Sadar Police Station in this regard. The gold bars will be kept at Chuadanga Treasury Office.
