Authorities in Khulna have clarified that a site initially suspected of producing illegal firearms was, in fact, manufacturing dummy weapons for the Bangladesh National Cadet Corps (BNCC). The confusion arose after a Saturday evening raid by the Detective Branch (DB) police, who reported recovering various weapon-like components and molds, detaining four individuals in the process. Following a detailed review, Khulna Metropolitan Police’s Detective Branch Officer-in-Charge Taimur Islam confirmed on Sunday that the seized materials were not illegal. He stated that once BNCC officials presented the necessary authorization documents, discussions with senior police officials resolved the misunderstanding. The items, including mock triggers and wooden stocks, were confirmed to be training aids rather than functional weapons. The incident highlights the importance of verification before public announcements in sensitive operations. Police officials have indicated that all detainees are being released, and the matter is now considered closed following confirmation of BNCC’s lawful training activities.
