Coast Guard's Lt Commander Durul Huda told bdnews24.com that the trawler was detained from the estuary of the river just past midnight Sunday.
"The raid was conducted on a tip-off. But the crew of the boat jumped into the river and fled," he said.
The Yaba tablets were found in an empty oil-container on the boat, said Huda.
He said 200,000 tablets were found in 20 packets.
