A CISF jawan successfully apprehended a suspicious individual at a Delhi Metro station following a pursuit through the facility's escalators and stairs. The security personnel's alert response led to the detention of the man, whose behavior had raised concerns among station staff.
Upon searching the detainee, CISF officials recovered an unidentified semi-solid substance suspected to be gold, which had been carefully concealed in a stitched compartment within the man's undergarment kept inside his bag. The method of concealment suggests a deliberate attempt to evade detection and customs procedures.
The CISF posted details of the operation on its official channels, highlighting the vigilance of its personnel in maintaining security across the Delhi Metro network. The recovered material has been secured pending further investigation and authentication by relevant authorities.
The incident underscores ongoing efforts by security agencies to prevent smuggling and unauthorized transportation of precious metals through major transportation hubs in the national capital.
