Subhro Maitra | TNN | Apr 4, 2017, Malda: Around two pounds of snake venom, worth Rs 6 crore, was seized at the India-Bangladesh border on Sunday. BSF jawans at Bhimpur border outpost came by three youths trying to enter India.

On being chased, the men fled into Bangladesh. Jawans found a bag containing jars labelled 'Made in France' while searching the area.
