"During primary interrogation, Hira admitted to being a long-time supplier of yaba in the area. His flat on the third floor above Janata Bank served as one of the key distribution hubs for illegal drugs," said a member of the patrol team.
The detainee and the seized contraband have been handed over to the Faridpur Kotwali police station. Legal proceedings are currently underway.
According to army sources, the military is maintaining a zero-tolerance policy against illegal weapons, narcotics, extortion, and terrorism. The army has urged citizens to support efforts to curb crime by providing information to local army camps.
