BGB seizes snake venom worth Tk 3 cr from Dinajpur border
Dinajpur, May 10 - Members of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) seized snake venom worth Tk 3 crore from Dinajpur's Ghasuriya border on Friday.
Acting on a tip-off, a team of BGB-20 conducted a drive in the Ucha Gobindpur area of Birampur Upazila of Dinajpur in the early morning of Friday and seized the venom weighing around 2.5kg, Battalion Commander (Ordnance) Lt. Col. Nahid Newaz said.
The confiscated snake venom was stored in two jars, he added.
No one could be arrested as the smugglers left the venom sensing the presence of the BGB, said the commander.-UNB
