Akbar Ali in Chapainawabganj Sadar Upazila after accusing him of holding cannabis.[1] Ali, a resident of Khinnitola Ganashapara village, was detained at his own dwelling house in that same village during the evening operation.[1][2] Sub-Inspector Md. Mustafizur Rahman of the narcotics department, acting as complainant, is preparing a regular case against the detained man in connection with the recovery.[1][2]

The officers raided Ali’s house in Gobratala Union’s Khinnitola Ganashapara village on Saturday, 31 October, continuing the search of his home until 10 p.m. that night.[1][2] During that house search, the officers recovered and seized 4 kg of ganja, the Bengali word for cannabis, from the premises.[1][2] The published account describes the raid as part of an ongoing anti-drug drive, citing concerned sources, and gives no seizure value or court result beyond the planned case.[1] The account identifies Ali as the only detained person in the operation and reports no additional arrests at the house.[1]
