Police in Brahmanbaria arrested Kamrul Islam, a local Jubo Dal leader, after seizing 36 kilograms of cannabis from his private car during a raid on the Akhaura-Agartala road bypass area on Tuesday morning. Kamrul, 40, is the joint convener of the Akhaura upazila Jubo Dal and a resident of Taragan village. His associate, Golam Rabbi, 25, was also detained. Police said the drugs were being transported from India's Tripura state to Dhaka. The Toyota car used in the smuggling operation was confiscated. According to Akhaura police officer-in-charge Mohammad Shamiuddin, both suspects were sent to jail following legal procedures. Senior BNP leaders in the upazila stated that Kamrul’s arrest with drugs has tarnished the party’s image, and organizational action is being taken against him.
