On April 24, the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) launched an operation to intercept a human trafficking attempt from Myanmar into Bangladesh, involving Saiful Islam and other members of a trafficking ring. Although some traffickers managed to escape, BGB successfully rescued several victims during the operation.

Based on detailed information provided by the victims, BGB conducted follow-up raids along the Marine Drive Road and in the Damdamia area to capture the remaining traffickers. Investigations revealed that the trafficking gang had kidnapped several Bangladeshi citizens and held them hostage in a secret hideout in the South Lombari area of Teknaf.

A coordinated raid on Saiful Islam’s hideout led to the safe rescue of 14 abducted Bangladeshi nationals, all found alive and unharmed.
