Nine individuals were detained and 4,000 liters of diesel were seized during an anti-smuggling operation on the Karnaphuli River in Chattogram. The operation took place on the night of May 9, 2026, near the Diamond Cement Factory area under Karnaphuli police station. According to Coast Guard media officer Lieutenant Commander Sabbir Alam Sujon, the raid was conducted by Coast Guard Base Chattogram following a tip-off.
During the operation, the diesel, valued at around 400,000 taka, was being smuggled from the Chattogram Port Authority’s vessel Kandari-6 to a tanker named OT Azu Shah. The seized fuel was later handed over to the Chattogram Port Authority. The authority has taken the incident seriously and formed a committee to prevent future occurrences.
The Coast Guard stated that it will continue similar operations to curb illegal fuel storage and smuggling in the future.
