Gunny bags filled with gutka approximately worth Rs. 25 lakhs were seized at Secunderabad station today by the Railway Police.
Two men were caught red handed trying to smuggle bags filled with gutka from Karnataka to Kolkata. They were arrested, and are currently being interrogated about who else is involved.
The gutka has been seized.
Despite the sale, manufacture, distribution and usage of this tobacco product being banned in 16 states, or perhaps because of it; trade in contraband gutka continues to flourish in states across the country.
