Teknaf, Mar 5 (V7N) - Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) arrested two individuals and seized 69 hand grenades along with bomb-making equipment during a special operation at the Hnila border in Teknaf, Cox’s Bazar. The detained men are Md. Samrat Pradhan (33) from Chandpur and Md. Antar (32) from Narayanganj.

BGB Commander Lt. Col. Ashikur Rahman confirmed the arrest, stating that a raid was conducted based on secret information that the suspects were involved in bomb-making activities at a dilapidated house. The operation led to the discovery of the grenades, although two others managed to flee.

During questioning, the detainees revealed that they were part of an organized gang involved in producing and distributing bombs across the country for criminal, terrorist, and sabotage purposes. Authorities are working to arrest the fugitives and investigate the owner of the house.
