Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) detained a man on Friday while he was attempting to smuggle $51,000 into India through the Mujibnagar border in Meherpur.
Acting on a tip-off, Lt Col Md Nazmul Hasan, commander of the BGB’s Chuadanga Battalion (6 BGB), deployed a team led by acting Quartermaster Assistant Director Md Haider Ali.
The team set up an ambush at Fashitala, approximately 200 yards inside Bangladesh from main pillar 99 of the border, under the jurisdiction of Anandabas BOP in Mujibnagar upazila.
Around 12pm, the BGB team noticed a suspicious individual riding a bicycle from the zero line area, carrying a bag filled with grass. Upon sensing the presence of BGB members, the man attempted to flee but was quickly caught.
