The Railway LCB (Local Crime Branch) seized 55 kg of unaccounted silver worth ₹24.69 lakh from a courier boy at Rajkot railway station. The silver was concealed in parcels labeled as ‘general goods’ on different trains.

PSI Jayubha Parmar of the Railway LCB caught Chhotu Shrisantoshilal Sharma (26), a resident of Patel Nagar in Rajkot and a native of Rajasthan. Upon searching the parcels in his possession, the LCB found 55 kg and 380 grams of silver ornaments.

As Sharma could not produce any bills or documents to prove the ownership of the silver, LCB seized the silver. The LCB has also seized Sharma’s mobile.

The LCB is now investigating who owned the silver and where it was being sent to unravel the whole racket.
