An intensive law enforcement operation in Jashore district reached a major milestone after officers from the Department of Narcotics Control (DNC) dismantled a hidden narcotics ring, apprehending a 54-year-old female suspect alongside a massive stash of contraband. The arrested individual, identified as Ambia Begum (also locally known as Ambia Khatun), is the wife of local rickshaw-van operator Akbar Ali. She was taken into custody following an early morning raid on her residence in the South Buruzbagan Jorpara neighborhood under Sharsha Upazila—an area that has long been under close surveillance by security personnel due to frequent drug-related activities.

The raid was executed on Tuesday morning at approximately 8:00 AM, driven by specific, actionable intelligence gathered by the Jashore district DNC intelligence wing. The report indicated that a high-value shipment of illegal synthetic drugs had been moved into the residence for temporary storage before being distributed to local dealers across the border district. Acting swiftly, a specialized strike force led by Sub-Inspector (SI) Rafiza Khatun surrounded and searched the property. A meticulous inspection of Ambia Begum’s personal bedroom led to the discovery of 6,000 individual Yaba tablets concealed within the living quarters.

Strict Prosecution and Escalated Enforcement Across District

Law enforcement officers immediately confiscated the contraband pills as primary evidence and arrested Ambia Begum on the spot. Following standard criminal procedures, Sub-Inspector Rafiza Khatun lodged a formal criminal case against the suspect at Sharsha Police Station under the uncompromising statutes of the Narcotics Control Act.

• Official Confirmation: Parveen Akhtar, Deputy Director of the Department of Narcotics Control (Jashore District Office), confirmed the complete recovery details and validated that the suspect had been handed over to police custody for further judicial proceedings.

• District-Wide Anti-Narcotics Mandate: Emphasizing the zero-tolerance policy against drug syndicates, the Deputy Director pledged that operational teams will continue launching high-impact raids throughout Jashore to dismantle illegal smuggling networks, curb the proliferation of synthetic drugs, and maintain community safety.
