“We suspected that the motorcycles were used for conveyance of petrol, food items and smuggled items to bandits in the forest.

“Most of the people we seized the motorcycles from fled and no one came to claim the motorcycles,’’ the controller said.

Wada said the command is working tirelessly to guarantee that no contraband or illegal item is brought into the country through any of the borders in the state.
