The recovered goods are - 200 kg of TCB pulses, 40 kg of sugar and 62 liters of oil. The recovered goods are in the custody of the upazila administration.
It is learnt that Pabel, son of Afzal Patwari of Paschim Mandari village of the upazila, and his associate Faruk illegally warehoused these TCB products from Lakshmipur Terdas and Megha Terdas dealer Mohammad Mamun. Pabel is a grocer from the local Chaumuhani Pol area. They fled after receiving news of the raid, so they could not be arrested.
