A mobile court in Satkhira sentenced a man named Anwar Hossain Khokon to two months of simple imprisonment and fined him 5,000 taka for illegally storing and selling fuel at inflated prices. The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) detained him on Monday from his residence in the Uttar Palashpol area of Satkhira town.
The mobile court, led by Executive Magistrates Md. Saiful Islam and Konoj Dewan under the district administration, delivered the punishment following the arrest. The operation was part of an enforcement drive against unauthorized fuel storage and price manipulation in the region.
The case highlights ongoing efforts by local authorities to curb illegal fuel trading and ensure compliance with government pricing and storage regulations in Satkhira.
