The Bangladesh Coast Guard rescued four abducted fishermen and arrested eight members of the notorious Jahangir gang, including its leader, during operations in Cox’s Bazar. The rescue followed a robbery incident on February 24 near Sonadia Char under Maheshkhali police station, where a fishing boat named “FB Mayer Doa-3” was attacked. Acting on information received through the emergency hotline 16111, Coast Guard units from Cox’s Bazar and Maheshkhali launched a joint operation.
During the operation, a suspicious fishing boat ignored a stop signal and attempted to flee. The Coast Guard fired five blank rounds and successfully intercepted the vessel. A search recovered three homemade firearms, four live cartridges, and six local weapons. Jahangir, the gang leader, and four associates were detained, and two fishermen held hostage were rescued alive. Based on further information, another operation at Laboni Point led to the arrest of four more gang members and the rescue of two additional fishermen.
The Coast Guard reported that all rescued fishermen were found alive, and the seized weapons were taken into custody for further investigation.
