Around 5.30 am, the DRI sleuths followed Selvakumar (36) of Ponpethi near Jagathapattinam and Maruthupandi (39) of Mimisal who were moving in a suspicious manner on a bike with a bag. The duo was proceeding to Thondi via Muthukuda from Jagathapattinam. The officials stopped them near Muthukuda and inspected their bag. To their surprise, they found 19 kg of gold worth Rs 6 crore in their possession without any supporting document. They seized the gold and arrested the duo.
