Department of Narcotics Control officers detained Abdus Salam, 48, in Gopalpur Basantapur, Meherpur Sadar, seizing 500 grams of ganja alongside 115 yaba pills and Tk 45,500 in alleged sale proceeds. A second man, Alauddin, 25, was named in the same Narcotics Control Act case filed at Meherpur Sadar police station.
Department of Narcotics Control officers detained 48-year-old Abdus Salam in the
Gopalpur Basantapur area of Meherpur Sadar.[1]Officers also linked
25-year-old Alauddin to the operation and named him in the same case, without
reporting that he was detained.[1]The operation took place in the area under
Meherpur Sadar police station on Thursday, 5 November 2026.[1]
Acting on secret information, officers searched Salam’s own three-room
single-storey house.[1]Under the bed in the north-east room, they found a
plastic bag holding 115 yaba pills weighing 11.5 grams, 500 grams of ganja, the
local term for cannabis, and Tk 45,500 in cash described as drug-sale proceeds.[1]The directorate put the estimated value of all the seized drugs together at
Tk 66,000, a combined figure not recorded as a cannabis value.[1]
Alauddin was reported to work as a painter at the Meherpur IT Training and
Incubation Centre.[1]Sub-Inspector Md. Rahmat Ali of the district narcotics
office filed a regular case under the Narcotics Control Act, 2018, at Meherpur
Sadar police station.[1]
Only one accessible source for this event was found after searching in Bengali and English.
The 115 yaba pills weighing 11.5 grams are mentioned only to explain the mixed seizure and are excluded from cannabis figures.
The Tk 45,500 in cash described as drug-sale proceeds is not a cannabis valuation and is excluded from figures.
The reported Tk 66,000 estimated value covers all seized drugs together and is therefore excluded from cannabis figures, with no cannabis-only value recorded.
The report names Alauddin in the same case but does not say he was detained or charged, and no arrest of a second person is recorded.
The 5 November 2026 date is the reported Thursday operation date, which matches the publication date.
The source page carries an image captioned only as 13, which does not establish that it shows this seizure, so no media entry is included.
