Customs officials on Tuesday detained Anisul Islam Talukder and Md Monir Ben Ali at Dhaka airport for carrying 'firearms'.
The two men allegedly tried to sneak out of the airport on the pretext that the nine firearms they were carrying were toys. They had earlier arrived in Dhaka via Dubai.
They were later handed over to the Airport Police Station.
The station's Inspector Shafikul Islam presented the two before the Dhaka District Judge's Court and sought a 10-day remand for interrogation.
Judge Noor Nahar Yasmin granted a three-day remand, the police crime, investigation and prosecution department Deputy Commissioner Md Anisur Rahman said.
He told bdnews24.com that the duo had been arrested under the Special Powers Act.
