This resulted in a customs duty loss of Rs 4.45 crore to the exchequer, the central agency claimed.

A source said that the third accused, Jain, was allegedly involved in selling smuggled gold in India and facilitating hawala transactions. He is a crucial link in the smuggling syndicate, and investigations have uncovered that he helped Ranya twice, before he was arrested on Wednesday.
