Three persons were arrested after 70 pieces of metal biscuits, suspected to be gold, were seized from them while they were trying to board a New Delhi-bound train from Sealdah station in the city, a senior RPF officer said today.
Acting on a tip-off, a RPF Sealdah special task force seized the metal biscuits from the three - Saurabh Shukla (25), Pravin Shukla (30) and Kuldeep Pandey (26), all residents of Uttar Pradesh, at the station platform yesterday when they were planning to board New Delhi-bound Duranta Express, he said.
