Maulvibazar

Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) detained an Indian contraband runner, seizing a foreign-built handgun, a pair of .22-caliber bullets and 500 Yaba pills following an armed clash along the Kumarshail frontier in Moulvibazar district's Barlekha upazila.  The apprehension occurred during a targeted raid carried out by the Beanibazar Battalion (52 BGB) on Thursday night, as detailed in an official media release published on Friday morning.  Acting on an intelligence tip indicating that a cross-border syndicate intended to sneak a cache of weapons and narcotics into the country via the Kumarshail border, a specialized patrol unit staked out the location at approximately 10 pm.
