In response to a question, he said, 'The investigation is on, who is smuggling what amount of money, where they have smuggled it. Action will be taken after checking records and investigating. Initially (many) have been caught. After investigation it can be said whether it is small scale or large scale, is there any godfather, or is there any group or it is individualistic.
