The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has arrested an Indian national on a tourist visa for allegedly possessing yaba pills during a raid in Narayanganj’s Siddhirganj.
RAB-11 Operations Officer Captain Rawnak Erfan Khan said they detained 23-year-old Abdullah Hill Baki at Chattogram Road around 8:30pm on Monday.
Baki, from the Indian state of Tripura, is an “active member of a drug smuggling gang”, according to a media statement.
He often visits Bangladesh from India on a tourist visa and stays in Cumilla’s Burichang Upazila.
Baki has been transporting, supplying and selling drugs in Narayanganj, Dhaka and surrounding districts, RAB said.
A case has been filed against him under the Narcotics Control Act, and he was handed over to Siddhirganj Police.
