“This is the biggest ever haul of crystal meth in the country”, said Commander Khandaker Al Moin, RAB’s Legal and Media Wing director, told the media
Crystal methamphetamine is a stimulant drug. It’s stronger, more addictive and has more harmful side effects than the powder form of methamphetamine. It usually comes as small chunky clear crystals that look like ice.
