"Abdul Kalam Azad, 35, had come on Saturday to Agartala from Bangladesh and tried to go to Kolkata by a private airline. When Central Industrial Security Force troopers at the airport checked him, they seized 12 gold biscuits each weighing 108 gram from him," a police official said.
Police suspect the man was going to Kolkata to sell the gold biscuits.
