According to local sources in the camp, Sub-Inspector Sohag, who was in charge of the camp, was pressuring Ekram, 38, the camp chief, to sell yaba. Ekramthen informed APBn Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police Kamrul Islam of the matter.
Senior APBn officials later found the involvement of Sohag and others in the matter. The three APBnmembers were then arrested with yaba and counterfeit money in a drive.
"The arrestees were handed over to Ukhiya police after filing a case under the narcotics act," said Captain Shihab.
