Hey there, folks! Mubarak Ansari here with some breaking news from Pimpri Chinchwad. You won’t believe what the Anti-Property Squad of the local police commissionerate just uncovered!
On the Pune-Mumbai Expressway, a huge stash of sandalwood worth crores of rupees was seized during a sneaky operation this afternoon. And get this—the smugglers tried to hide the precious wood under coconut husks in a container. Talk about creative!
Apparently, the container was stopped at Urse Toll Naka on its way to Mumbai. It’s estimated that there were about 10 to 12 tonnes of sandalwood inside, but the exact amount is still being figured out.
Two people were taken into custody during the bust—a guy named Arpit Singh and the driver of the container. But where did this sandalwood come from, and where was it headed? Those are the burning questions that the authorities are trying to answer as we speak.
Sandalwood is a hot commodity, folks. It’s in high demand in international markets, which is why its trade is closely monitored. Stay tuned as the investigation unfolds and we learn more about this smuggling operation.
