DRI, Coast Guard Recover 12 Kg Gold From Sea

Meanwhile, the 1,076-km-long Tamil Nadu coastline has been facing a threat of smuggling in recent years.

Earlier, on February 9, Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) and Indian Coast Guard on Thursday recovered 12 kg of gold dumped in the sea off Mandapam in Tamil Nadu's Rameswaram, officials said on Thursday.

The DRI had received a tip-off that a boat was headed towards the Rameswaram coast and it contained smuggled goods. The DRI and Coast Guard officials on Wednesday intercepted a boat and found that its crew had thrown something into the sea.

Those in the boat were interrogated after taking them to the mainland and scuba divers were brought from Thoothukudi. The divers searched for the dumped object since Wednesday afternoon but called off the operation by the evening. The divers resumed the search on Thursday and found a bag containing gold. The DRI officials found that the bag contained gold bars worth 12 kg.
