A joint operation by the Bangladesh Coast Guard and local police led to the arrest of a suspected drug dealer in Bhola on Saturday night.

Acting on a tip-off, the joint team raided an area near Char Shibli in the Sadar Upazila at approximately 9:00 p.m. During the search, authorities arrested 55-year-old Nazma, wife of Md. Hadis, and seized 1.1 kilograms (roughly 2.4 lbs) of marijuana.

Lt. BN Md. Abul Kashem, Media Officer for the Coast Guard, confirmed that the seized narcotics have an estimated street value of Tk44,000.

The suspect and the seized contraband were handed over to the Bhola Sadar Police Station. Legal proceedings are currently underway as part of a broader regional crackdown on narcotics trafficking ahead of the national election cycle.
