Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) detained a rickshaw van driver carrying 212 liters of diesel near the Chuadanga border on the night of April 12, 2026. The arrest took place in the Helatala area of Damurhuda upazila’s Parkrishnapur-Madna union, close to the Indian border. Members of the 6th Battalion seized both the rickshaw van and the diesel during the operation.

According to BGB sources, the detainee, identified as Israfil Hossain, 49, from Sorabaria village in Damurhuda, was allegedly involved in smuggling activities. The operation was part of an intensified security effort by the Chuadanga-6 Battalion to prevent fuel smuggling in the Boroboldia Border Outpost area. A temporary checkpost was set up between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m., where patrol teams inspected vehicles and individuals.

BGB officials stated that legal action has been initiated regarding the seized diesel and that anti-smuggling surveillance will continue along the border to prevent similar incidents.
