A young man has been arrested with 5,000 pieces of Yaba while trying to deliver drugs from Cox's Bazar to Bhanga. He was arrested in a raid by the Faridpur Narcotics Control Department on Saturday evening from the Dhaka-Mawa-Bhanga toll plaza area of the Bangabandhu Highway.
The arrested youth has been identified as Nurul Hakim (31). He is the son of Abdul Jabbar of Paglir Bil village under Ukhia police station in Cox's Bazar.
Narcotics Control Department sources said that based on intelligence information, Faridpur Narcotics Control Department Deputy Director Shamim Hossain led a search operation in front of the expressway toll plaza on the body of Nurul Hakim, who was a passenger on a bus named Kotali Para Star Express that left Dhaka. Later, 5,000 pieces of Yaba tablets were recovered from him.
During the initial interrogation, Nurul Haque said that he swallowed specially packaged Yaba from Cox's Bazar and carried it in his stomach. Later, when he arrived in Dhaka by plane, he excreted the Yaba through defecation. Then, he cleaned it, repacked it, wrapped it around his body in a special way with Scotch tape, and brought it to Bhanga.
Shamim Hossain, deputy director of the Faridpur Narcotics Control Department, said that this drug dealer syndicate was smuggling drugs using innovative techniques. Finally, the drug dealer was caught in the net of the Narcotics Control Department.
He said, "No matter how many strategies drug dealers adopt, the Narcotics Control Department is always trying to bring them under the law. The process of filing a regular case against the accused at Bhanga Police Station is underway."
