Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) in a raid on the Gulshan residence of the alleged Yaba dealer Shafiqul Islam Jewel early Monday seized huge Yaba tablets, Phensidyl syrup, porno CDs and a luxurious car, reports UNB.
RAB sources said, they arrested the notorious Yaba dealer, locally known as 'Yaba Jewel', on Sunday evening. Acting on his confessional statement, they raided the residences of Jewel and his sister at Niketan residential area at about 4am.
During the drive, they recovered over 200 Yaba tablets, several bottles of Phensidyl syrup, 100 porno CDs, and also seized a car from Jewels' house.
Meanwhile, suspected Yaba-baron Amin Huda and his associate Ahsanul Haque Hasan were again taken on a two-day remand each in two cases involving clandestine trade of the dangerous drug.
After completing eight days on remand, given on October 27, police took them to the court of additional CMM Shawkat Ali Chowdhury Monday, and prayed for a further five-day remand each in the two cases, filed against them with Gulshan police station under the Special Powers and Narcotics Acts.
Huda, nephew of business-tycoon Aziz Mohammad Bhai, and Ahsan were given to police remand by magistrate SA Chowdhury at about 3:30pm after rejecting prayer for 10-day remand in both the cases.
RAB troops arrested the duo from the city's Gulshan area along with huge quantities of Yaba tablets and VoIP equipment on October 25. The unearthing of the underworld of the latest brand of narcotic drug set off a massive mopping-up operation, which continued to rein in high-society fat cats and their consorts.
