Department of Narcotics Control (DNC) busted two drug dealers with contraband liquors inside a car disguised as Ekattor TV’s press vehicle in Jessore city.
The anti-drug agency conducted a drive and detained Oli Ullah, 40, and Md Shanto, 48, with 120 bottles of foreign liquor and 600 cans of beer Thursday afternoon.
Jessore DNC Inspector (‘Ka’ circle) Helal Uddin Bhuiyan said: “Acting on a tip-off, the law enforcement conducted a drive and seized the contraband items after searching the vehicle in front of a private hospital on Jail road in the city.”
Upon primary interrogation, the detainees confessed that to avoid arrest they had been trafficking drugs using vehicles with press stickers of prominent media outlets.
A case is being lodged in this regard and once the duo is shown arrested, a prayer seeking for their remand will be submitted, said Jessore DNC Deputy Director Md Bahauddin.
