Two individuals, including a Jubo League leader, were arrested in separate army operations in Barishal’s Gouranadi and Agailjhara upazilas. The raids, conducted on Saturday, led to the recovery of yaba tablets, bullets, and locally made weapons. Separate cases were filed against the detainees, and on Sunday, a court ordered them to be sent to jail.

According to Gouranadi Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge Tariq Hasan Russel, army personnel from the temporary Gouranadi camp arrested 37-year-old Raihan Fakir, a member of the Gouranadi municipal Jubo League, from the Kosba area. Authorities seized 103 yaba tablets, 180 rounds of airgun bullets, and local weapons from him. In another operation in Agailjhara’s Ratnapur area, 22-year-old Miraj Hossain was detained with 57 yaba tablets, about 100 grams of cannabis, drug paraphernalia, and local weapons. Agailjhara Police Station Officer-in-Charge Masud Khan confirmed the arrest.

Both suspects were produced before court on Sunday and subsequently sent to jail following the court’s order.
