Two suspected drug dealers were killed in an alleged gunfight with the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) at Teknaf on Tuesday.
Teknaf-2 BGB commander Lt Col Faisal Hasan Khan said they had recovered 360,000 yaba pills and a locally-made firearm from the site.
BGB are yet to confirm the identities of the deceased.
Khan said one of their teams took position at Najirpara point to foil a major yaba smuggling bid.
“The yaba traders fired at the BGB team, triggering a skirmish,” he said. “The bodies were recovered from the site after the gunfight and had been sent to Cox's Bazar Sadar Hospital for an autopsy.”
