An Aizawl-based man was apprehended by the CISF at Guwahati airport with 39 gold bars worth Rs 2.08 crore, a senior official said on Sunday.
A CISF spokesperson said the man was supposed to take a flight to Kolkata when he was intercepted by Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel after they found a gold bar in his baggage.
The man was interrogated and 38 more gold bars were recovered from his checked-in baggage, he said.
A total of 39 gold bars, weighing over 6 kg, were seized and the man was subsequently handed over to officials of the Customs Department.
The man could not give valid reasons for carrying such a large quantity of the yellow metal, the spokesman said.
