Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) on Friday claimed to have seized drugs worth nearly Tk 11.46 crore in Cox’s Bazar’s Teknaf upazila.
Based on a tip-off, a patrol team of BGB intercepted a boat carrying a suspected smuggler in the Naf river of Teknaf upazila at 6:50 pm while he was heading towards the Beribadh area, said Lt Col Sheikh Khalid Md Iftekhar, Commander of BGB-2 battalion.
At one stage, the BGB challenged the boat.
Sensing danger, the man on the boat escaped but the BGB men seized a bag containing 2.11kg of crystal meth and 30,000 Yaba tablets worth Tk 11.46 crore, he said.
