During a routine search with the help of sniffer dogs, BSF personnel found 11 pieces of gold biscuits wrapped with tape and concealed in the footrest of two seats in the bus.
As the driver and supervisor could not give any satisfactory reply to questions about the gold, they were taken into custody. The helper of the bus, however, mingled among passengers and could not be captured, the BSF said in a statement.
The two men and the seized gold biscuits have been handed over to the Customs Office, Petrapole for further legal proceedings.
