Police seized 108 sacks of fertiliser while they were being illegally transported by an engine-powered boat in the haor area of Itna upazila in Kishoreganj on Friday night.

The fertilisers were seized during a raid in Elangjuri Union of the upazila. However, the naval police failed to arrest anyone in connection with the incident.

Naval Police Inspector Md Jamal Hossain said, “At around 10:30pm on Friday, we received information from a confidential source that fertilizer was being illegally transported by boat.

The fertiliser was supposed to be unloaded at Elangjuri Bazar. Acting on the information, we immediately conducted a raid at the spot. Sensing the presence of police, those involved fled the scene. Later, we seized 108 sacks of fertiliser along with the boat.”

According to local residents and naval police sources, the raid was conducted in Elangjuri Union following a tip-off that fertiliser was being illegally smuggled by boat. Sensing the presence of police, those involved in the smuggling fled the scene. Police later seized 108 sacks of fertilizer along with the boat.
