The arrested were identified as Kerama Chakma, 38; Laumang Chakma, 44; Leraiyya Chakma, 24; and Chamiya Chakma, 29.
According to the DNC, acting on confidential information, officials learned that a group of drug dealers was travelling to Dhaka from Rangamati carrying a large consignment of Yaba tablets on a Saudia Silky Paribahan bus (Chattogram Metro-B-11-1915).
