Four Jewelers arrested in India for ties with Afghanistan diplomat in Gold-smuggling case

The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has made headlines with the arrest of four jewellers from Mumbai in connection with a significant gold smuggling case involving Afghanistan’s Consul General Zakia Wardak, according to a report by the Times of India.

Allegations by the DRI suggest that the smuggling syndicate managed to bring 300 kilograms of foreign-marked gold into India between January and April this year. An employee of the Afghan consulate is also implicated in the investigation.
