BGB seizes 1,400 rounds of ammunition in Khagrachari special drive

The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) recovered 1,400 rounds of
ammunition during a special operation in the remote Bouddhomoni Para Khataltali
area of Panchhari upazila in Khagrachari on Friday.
Acting on intelligence, a patrol
team from Panchhari Battalion (3 BGB), led by Naib Subedar Md Shah Alam of
Bouddhomoni Para BOP, took position at Khataltali passenger shed area around
4pm, officials said.
Shortly afterwards, the BGB team
noticed four individuals travelling on two motorcycles along the border road.
When challenged, the suspects abandoned their motorcycles and fled into the
nearby hilly terrain.
A subsequent search of the area led to the recovery of 1,400 rounds of
ammunition left behind, according to BGB sources.
While transporting the seized items
back to the BOP, the patrol team was at one point surrounded by around 100–110
unidentified individuals. Suspecting a potential ambush, additional BGB
personnel led by Acting Commander Major SM Imrul Kayes were deployed from
battalion headquarters.
Following the arrival of
reinforcements, the group dispersed from the area. BGB officials said the
situation was brought under control through prompt action and tactical response
by the patrol team.
Lieutenant Colonel Md Rabiul Islam,
commanding officer of Panchhari Battalion (3 BGB), said border forces remain
alert to prevent illegal arms trafficking and other cross-border crimes. He
added that intelligence operations and patrol activities have been intensified
to curb such incidents and will continue in the future.
