The Revenue Investigation Office is expected to open and inspect them to determine the nature and quantity of the cargo, verify customs and revenue-related documents, and examine whether any irregularities were involved.<\/p>\n<p>Police said the containers were detained on the basis of preliminary suspicion, and whether they contain illegal goods will be established only after a detailed investigation by the Revenue Investigation Office.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=22933\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Media Correspondent Police in Mustang have detained eight drivers along with eight suspicious containers from the tourist checkpoint at Jomsom in Gharpajhong Rural Municipality-4 and sent them to the Revenue Investigation Office in Hariharbhawan, Lalitpur for further investigation.
