Detectives in Chittagong yesterday seized 780 bottles of contraband liquor during a raid in a fishing trawler anchored at the Fishery Ghat (jetty) area of Karnaphuli River.
No one was arrested in this connection as the people involved had managed to flee the scene sensing the presence of the Detective Branch personnel, said Mohammad Kamruzzaman, DB assistant commissioner (north zone) of Chittagong Metropolitan Police.
A team, led by Kamruzzaman, conducted the drive at Fishery Ghat under Kotwali police station around 8:30pm and seized 400 bottles of foreign and 380 bottles of local liquor kept in two big cartons.
