In a separate raid that morning at about 8 am, the Gangarhat outpost patrol
detained one person and seized 114 Indian yaba pills in the Kuti Chandra Khan
area of Fulbari.[1][2]In the third raid, Mogalhat outpost members seized 15
types of Indian goods, including perfume, powder, oil and toothpaste, at
Chouratari in Lalmonirhat Sadar on Friday morning.[1]BGB said it was

and that legal action was under way.[1]
Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
Janobani illustrates the Fulbari BGB case with a yaba-tablet display and no ganja visible, so no event photo is listed.
The combined seizure value of Tk 108,130 covers all raids announced together and cannot be assigned to the cannabis alone, so no cannabis value is recorded.
No arrest, charge, suspect identity or court outcome was reported for the Kadamtali cannabis raid; the single detention belonged to the separate yaba raid.
Only outlet accounts of the same 15 BGB press release are available; no separate BGB statement was opened.
The coordinates are the Fulbari upazila centre, not the exact Kadamtali spot.
Accounts differ on whether the announcement covered only the yaba and Kadamtali cannabis raids or also a third Mogalhat goods seizure, although all give the same combined Tk 108,130 value.
