One held with 132-kg ganja in Thakurgaon

Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested a presumed kingpin of an inter-district drug traders’ gang with 132 kilograms of ganja from Bhatina Thakurbari village in Kotwali Police Station
of Dinajpur district today.

The arrested was identified as Md. Rezaul Islam, 42, son of late Sirajul
Islam of the village.

“On a tip-off, an operational team of Crime Prevention Company (CPC)-2 from
Nilphamari Camp of RAB-13 raided the house of Rezaul and seized the huge
quantity of contraband ganja and arrested him in the early morning,” a press
release said here this afternoon.

During interrogation, the detainee admitted that he had been involved in drug
trading in connivance with his other cohorts, evading the eyes of the law
enforcement agencies for a long time. “After filing a case in this connection, the elite force handed over the arrested person to Dinajpur Kotwali Police Station today,” the release added. (BSS)
