Two persons were arrested and a teak worth Rs 1 crore was seized from their possession in West Bengal’s Jalpaiguri district, a forest official said on Saturday.
Acting on a tip-off, Baikunthapur Forest Division personnel intercepted a container and a trailer in the Panikouri area late on Friday and found the vehicles to be loaded with Burma teak, he said.
The teak, worth Rs 1 crore, was being smuggled to Kolkata from Guwahati, the official said, adding the arrested persons are residents of Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.
