Bangladesh Coast Guard arrested two suspected drug traffickers and seized 250,000 yaba pills during a special operation in the outer anchorage area of Chattogram. The Coast Guard said the seized pills were worth about Tk 125 million. The operation was conducted at 3am on Monday, August 10, 2026, by Coast Guard ship Kutubdia and Patenga outpost personnel assigned to Operation Somudra Prohori, acting on intelligence.
Coast Guard media officer Lieutenant Commander Sabbir Alam Sujon disclosed the information on Monday afternoon. He said a suspicious boat was signalled to stop but ignored the order and attempted to flee at high speed. The operational team pursued and detained the boat, then recovered the yaba pills and took two alleged traffickers into custody along with the vessel used for smuggling.
Initial questioning indicated that an organised drug network had collected the yaba consignment from different areas of Myanmar and was attempting to smuggle it into Chattogram, according to the Coast Guard. It said long-term intelligence surveillance enabled the interception of the shipment. Intelligence activity and coordination with other law-enforcement agencies are continuing to identify other network members. Legal procedures involving the seized drugs, boat and detainees are under way.
