Police have arrested two suspected drug traffickers along with 400 yaba pills in Munshiganj. The arrests were made during separate drives conducted in different areas of the district on Tuesday (November 11) afternoon. Legal proceedings under the Narcotics Control Act are underway against the detainees.

Details of the arrest

According to police sources, the drives were carried out based on confidential information. During the operations, 400 yaba pills were recovered from the possession of the two individuals. Preliminary interrogation reportedly led them to confess their involvement in drug sales.

Legal proceedings

Police are preparing to file a case under the Narcotics Control Act and produce the arrestees before the court. Authorities are also investigating whether others are involved in the drug supply and distribution network.

In a separate development on the same day, Bangladesh Pratidin reported that two individuals were arrested in Munshiganj with Indian sarees and Kashmiri shawls valued at Tk 1.1 billion. It remains unclear whether the yaba recovery is connected to that incident.
