In a coordinated operation conducted by the joint forces in Homna Upazila, Comilla, a 32-year-old man named Sohag was apprehended early on Thursday morning, found in possession of two pistols and fourteen rounds of ammunition. The operation took place at approximately 6:00 am in the Mathabhanga area of the Upazila.
Local sources identified the detainee as Sohag, son of Taru Mia, a resident of Mathabhanga. For some time, he had reportedly been involved in activities causing local concern due to his possession of firearms.
According to military sources, the arrest followed a tip-off from intelligence sources. Acting on this information, the Comilla 33rd Infantry Division, in collaboration with local law enforcement, launched a targeted operation in the early hours of the morning. During the operation, Sohag was detained and the weapons in his possession were confiscated.
Following the seizure, both Sohag and the recovered firearms were formally handed over to the Homna Police Station for further legal proceedings. The joint forces emphasised that such operations are part of ongoing efforts to ensure public safety, maintain law and order, and combat illegal arms and criminal activity.
The military also highlighted that these operations play a crucial role in supporting anti-drug initiatives and suppressing acts of terrorism or armed intimidation in local communities. Regular patrols and intelligence-led interventions are expected to continue across the region, aiming to uphold peace and stability.
