Smuggled goat skins seized in Benapole
Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel seized 553 pieces of wet salted goat skins from Putkhali border area under Benapole Port Police station control last week.
After a tip-off, a team of BGB 23 Battalion raided the area around 5:30am and recovered the raw skins worth around Tk4 lakh (US$5,178), foiling a smuggling ring through the border by a gang of smugglers, said Abdur Rahim, commanding officer of the battalion. The smugglers, however, managed to flee the area, sensing the presence of the law enforcers, the officer added. A case was filed with Benapole port police station and the seized goat skins were deposited to Benapole Customs House later the same day.
