₹60L cash, gold seized in DRI raids; peas import allowed only via Kolkata port
In a major operation, three mid-level Chennai customs officers, a New Delhi-based importer, and a customs house agent (CHA) were arrested by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) on Tuesday on charges of importing green peas worth ₹2 crore by misdeclaration at Chennai Port, sources said.
Sources said that a top official of Chennai Seaport Customs' export commissionerate is also under the DRI scanner in the case. The scam was uncovered after the agency's investigators in Delhi flagged the role of a woman importer in the national capital, sources said.
