Bihar police say nearly two hundred bags of fertilizer were being illegally taken to Nepal via SItamarhi district in the state. All the bags of urea have been seized and two persons have been detained in this connection.
The criminals were arrested as the police had been tipped off.
Sitamarhi district of north Bihar is close to the Nepalese border.
It is said Bihar never ceases to be copy for the media so far as smuggling of fertilizer to Nepal is concerned.
Cases of rampant corruption in fertilizer have been reported in the past with even charges leveled against fertilizer cooperatives which have been accused of being involved in the hanky-panky.
