Customs seized two SUVs on Tuesday after a tip-off, alleging they carried fake registration certificates to conceal their origin and facilitate illegal movement and resale.
Customs officials suspect that the vehicle was illegally imported into India through the Bhutan-Nepal border route using forged documents and manipulated registration records to evade taxes.
The investigation gathered momentum following the confiscation of 10 high-end vehicles from Coimbatore and the busting of the alleged masterminds behind the scheme.
