Acting on tip-off, members of a nearby Border Outpost (BOP) took coordinated positions and set up an ambush along the border area. Sensing the presence of BGB personnel, an arms trafficker fled the scene, leaving behind the weapons along with a motorcycle. The arms were recovered following a search of the abandoned motorcycle, said Lieutenant Colonel Riaz Shahriar, Commanding Officer of BGB’s 1st Battalion in Rajshahi. Besides, around 700 BGB personnel, including 10 striking reserve members at each of the 16 BOPs along the border, are currently on duty.
