On December 7, the Special Task Force (STF) of Odisha Crime Branch had seized gemstones worth Rs 1.5 crore from a house in Jagannath Complex in Rayagada town.
According to police sources, the STF received a tip-off that huge quantities of semi-precious gemstones belonging to a jewellery shop were hidden in a godown. Following this, the STF raided the place and seized 150 kg of semi-precious stones stashed in gunny bags.
Meanwhile, the Opposition BJP has alleged the involvement of local BJD leaders in illegal gemstone trade.
