Bangladesh’s Detective Branch (DB) police have arrested Nur Uddin, a mechanic accused of manufacturing illegal firearms under the guise of operating an engineering workshop in Chandraganj, Lakshmipur. The arrest took place on December 9 in a remote area of Rangamati district, following a week-long manhunt after he fled during an earlier police raid.
Authorities said Nur Uddin’s workshop, 'Noha Auto Traders and Engineering,' was used to produce locally made weapons. During a December 1 raid, police recovered one homemade firearm and a large quantity of weapon-making equipment. Later, on December 7, officers discovered five single-barrel guns and one LG firearm hidden near a graveyard in Begumganj, allegedly produced in the same workshop.
Police officials confirmed that legal proceedings have begun under the Arms Act. The arrest highlights ongoing efforts by law enforcement to curb the spread of illegal weapons manufacturing in rural Bangladesh, a growing concern for local security agencies.
