The smugglers then fled the scene.
The police said that after driving several hundred meters away from the checkpoint, the smugglers lost control of their vehicle and fell into a gorge, resulting in the death of ‘two smugglers’ on the spot. One other ‘smuggler’ was injured.One bovine was also found dead at the site.
The police further stated that further details regarding the incident are awaited.
