The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) seized 111 bottles of Indian Eskaf syrup and a motorcycle during a special operation in the Sabri Khana Bridge area under the Kulaghat Special Camp in Lalmonirhat district. The operation, conducted by the 15 BGB Battalion on Monday night, followed intelligence information about smuggling activities. The seized items have a total estimated value of 224,400 taka, including 44,400 taka for the syrup and 180,000 taka for the motorcycle.

According to the Lalmonirhat Battalion, smugglers fled the scene after being signaled to stop, leaving behind the motorcycle and the contraband. Lieutenant Colonel Mehedi Imam (PSC), commanding officer of the 15 BGB Battalion, stated that the force remains uncompromising in protecting the border, preventing smuggling, and combating human trafficking.
