A man named Bakhtiar Uddin Manju (38) has been arrested with a foreign-made pistol and a large quantity of illegal items during an army raid in Fatikchhari, Chittagong.
The raid took place late Saturday night at Manju’s home in Gopalghata village under Lelang Union. The army recovered a foreign pistol, five pistol bullets, one magazine, 199 rounds of rifle ammunition, two shotgun cartridges, two bottles of foreign liquor, 13 mobile phones of various models, two passports, three knives, and several SIM cards.
