Bangladesh’s Department of Narcotics Control has uncovered a large-scale illegal ketamine production laboratory in a residential area of Uttara, Dhaka. The operation, led by Deputy Director Md. Mehedi Hasan of the divisional intelligence office, began early Wednesday, March 25, 2026, and remains ongoing. Authorities seized a fully equipped lab, raw materials, chemicals, and a significant quantity of prepared ketamine. Three foreign nationals were arrested at the scene.
Investigators said the arrested individuals are members of an organized network involved in the illegal production and distribution of ketamine in the capital. Preliminary findings suggest possible links to international drug networks. Officials described the site as a major production center using modern equipment to manufacture the drug.
A case under the Narcotics Control Act is being processed, and authorities are interrogating the detainees to identify their associates and broader network. Law enforcement agencies have announced plans to intensify similar operations against drug production and supply rings in Dhaka.
