As law enforcers tighten their vigilance against narcotics, smugglers continue to devise new tactics to evade detection, though not always successfully.
Two Dhaka-bound passengers were detained on Sunday morning at Cox’s Bazar Airport with more than 5,000 pieces of Yaba tablets concealed inside cricket bats.
The arrestees were identified as Zakir Hossain, 26, of Madaripur, and Tanvir Ahmed, 30, of Barishal. Police said Tanvir is a dismissed employee of Cox’s Bazar Airport.
