Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) claimed to have detained a Myanmar national with 50,000 Yaba pills from Teknaf upazila of Cox’s Bazar district.
The detainee has been identified as Md Rafique, 32.
Acting on a tip-off that a big consignment of Yaba was being smuggled through the area, a team of BGB-2 conducted a drive in the area and found four people crossing the zero line of the border area around 12:15am, said the commanding officer of BGB-2, Lt Col Mohiuddin.
Being challenged, three of the “smugglers” managed to flee the scene. BGB managed to arrest one of them with the Yaba pills.
