A group smuggled nine kg of gold and 22 kg of silver a few days ago to India, said a staff of the District Police Office. It is mysterious that on one hand, Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has not provided gold to gold dealers as per demand, and on the other, there is gold smuggling to India.



There is maximum demand for Nepali gold in India and Indian men and women come from India to buy gold ornaments in Biratnagar.
