Officers of Special Response Battalion-14 (SRB-14) arrested two men with 22 kilograms of ganja (cannabis) during a special operation in Bhaluka, Mymensingh.[1] The arrests were made at about 2:20 pm on Tuesday, 10 November, on a paved road in Purura village under Bhaluka police station.[1] The two detainees were identified as 47-year-old Md Helal Mia, described as a driver by profession, and 40-year-old Rimon Bhuiya, both from Brahmanbaria district.[1]
According to SRB-14’s Mymensingh CPSC unit, an operational team stationed in front of the Bhaluka Upazila Parishad (sub-district council) received confidential information about drug buying and selling in the Purura area.[1] The team moved quickly to the area and detained the two suspects.[1] When officers searched the mini pickup, they recovered 22 kilograms of ganja hidden by a special method in the rear of the vehicle.[1] Officers also seized the mini pickup used to transport the drugs, along with two mobile phones and cash.[1]
Sources linked to the operation alleged that the arrested men had long collected ganja from border areas and supplied and sold it across different parts of the country.[1] The two men, together with the recovered cannabis and seized items, were handed over to Bhaluka police station for further legal action.[1]
