After receiving a tip-off, DRI teams searched four spots on Monday — two illegal melting units and two unregistered shops. Officers discovered a working furnace where smugglers melted foreign gold and shaped it into bars and wax. The gold smuggling racket busted in Mumbai exposed a well-planned effort to sell gold in the grey market and dodge taxes.

Investigators recovered 11.88 kg of 24-carat gold and 8.72 kg of silver worth Rs 13.17 lakh. Follow-up raids helped the teams arrest 11 people, including the main suspect, his father, a manager, four melters, an accountant, and three delivery agents.

The DRI said the main accused had a past record of smuggling. All 11 suspects appeared in court and were sent to judicial custody. Officials believe this operation shows a strong move against gold smuggling groups and strengthens efforts to curb illegal trade in Mumbai.

The allegations date back to the YSRCP government’s tenure when Sanjay served as the CID Chief. He allegedly colluded with private firms in the procurement of fire safety equipment for awareness programs meant for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs). Investigators claim the irregularities caused a loss of ₹1.19 crore to the exchequer.

Earlier, the Andhra Pradesh High Court had granted anticipatory bail to Sanjay on January 30.
