In a major enforcement drive, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) in coordination with local police carried out extensive inspections across multiple locations, leading to the seizure of large amounts of unaccounted cash, gold, and banned tobacco products, including gutka.
Officials stated that the checks were intensified as part of ongoing surveillance measures to curb illegal transportation of valuables and prohibited items, especially in the run-up to elections and heightened security alerts. The joint teams conducted inspections at railway stations, transit points, and key entry routes within the city.
During the operation, authorities recovered significant quantities of cash suspected to be unaccounted, along with gold items that lacked proper documentation. In addition, banned gutka products—prohibited under regulations in several states due to health concerns—were also seized.
The Indian Railways confirmed that such drives are part of routine vigilance efforts aimed at preventing illegal activities and ensuring passenger safety. Officials noted that strict action would be taken against those found violating transport and public safety laws.
Police authorities have initiated further investigation to determine the source and intended use of the seized materials. Individuals found in possession of the items are being questioned, and legal proceedings are expected under relevant sections of law. News as Reported.
