Bangladesh Border Guard (BGB) personnel have recovered two foreign-made pistols, four magazines, and five rounds of ammunition near the Shibganj border in Chapainawabganj. The operation, conducted early Tuesday in the Raghabbati area under Monaksha Border Outpost, followed intelligence reports of illegal arms entering the country. A suspect fled the scene, leaving behind a bag containing the weapons.
Lieutenant Colonel Kazi Mustafizur Rahman, commanding officer of BGB Battalion 53, told reporters that the arms were likely smuggled in with the intent to incite violence ahead of the upcoming national parliamentary elections. He said additional patrols, checkpoints, and intelligence surveillance have been intensified along the border to prevent further infiltration. Earlier this month, the same battalion seized four pistols and 24 rounds of ammunition in a separate operation.
Authorities are investigating the source of the weapons and possible links to political groups. Security agencies have been instructed to remain on high alert as election-related tensions rise nationwide.
