**Siliguri:** A special secret chamber was created inside a four-wheeler. Gold biscuits were being smuggled hidden inside that chamber. Acting on a tip-off, the police recovered 465 grams of gold from a four-wheeler parked near Bagdogra Airport intersection. Two individuals have been arrested in this incident.

According to police sources, the arrested individuals are **Shaban Kumar and Raman Kumar**. Both are residents of Bihar. After receiving information about gold smuggling, the police conducted a search on a suspicious four-wheeler in the Airport intersection area.

A total of **465 grams of gold** has been seized by the police. The estimated market value of the recovered gold is around **7 million rupees**, according to police sources.

Preliminary investigations suggest that the arrested individuals had planned to smuggle the gold from Siliguri to Bihar. They were arrested for failing to produce valid documents for the recovered gold. Along with the gold recovery, the four-wheeler used for smuggling has also been seized.
