COX’S BAZAR, April 15, 2021 (BSS) – Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) in the early hours of today seized four lakh of yaba pills worth about Taka 12 crore from Leda Khal area under its Leda BOP in Teknaf upazila of the district.
Tipped off, a team of its Teknaf Battalion (BGB-2) seized the four abandoned sacks containing four lakh of yaba tablets at the backside of Leda Khal embankment at about 4.30 am, a BGB spokesman told BSS this afternoon.
However, the BGB could not detain anyone as the smugglers managed to flee the scene, leaving this huge consignment of the contraband items that reach here from the neighbouring country, he added.
BGB said the seized items will be destroyed in the presence of senior officials, representatives of the Department of Narcotics Control, public representatives and media personnel after completing necessary legal procedures.
