BGB Seizes Drugs Worth Tk 7cr in Cox’s Bazar

Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) claimed to have seized over 1kg of Ice and 50,000 pieces of Yaba worth nearly TK 7 crore at the Bangladesh-Myanmar border in Teknaf Upazila of Cox’s Bazar district early on Saturday, reports UNB.  

Tipped off, a team of BGB’s Teknaf battalion challenged two men coming from Myanmar in the Noapara Mochoni Bazar area of the Upazila around 3.45 am, said Commander of Teknaf Battalion-2, Lt Colonel Sheikh Khalid Mohammad Iftekhar.

The alleged smugglers fled the scene immediately, leaving the drugs behind.

Later, the BGB men spotted a plastic bag from the spot and found 1.070 kg of crystal meth and 50,000 pieces of Yaba worth Tk 6.85 crore inside it.

However, the BGB men couldn’t detain anyone during the drive.
