Authorities in Sitakunda upazila of Chattogram seized approximately 25,000 liters of stolen diesel during a joint operation at the Jalil Gate area of Faujdarhat on Monday afternoon. The operation was conducted by the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation, the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence, and the upazila administration, led by Assistant Commissioner (Land) and Executive Magistrate Abdullah Al Mamun. Officials said the raid was based on secret information about an illegal fuel depot.

During the operation, around 22,000 liters of diesel stored in three oil vouchers and another 3,000 liters kept in a container were confiscated. No one from the depot ownership was found at the scene, though local sources claimed that two individuals named Anwar and Nasir had been running the illegal business for a long time.

Chattogram Deputy Commissioner Zahidul Islam Mia visited the site and stated that the administration maintains a zero-tolerance policy against illegal fuel storage and trading. He warned that both buyers and sellers must refrain from hoarding fuel or face legal action.
