Police recovered six pistols, 41 bullets and four hand bombs in a bag, believed to be dumped by activists of Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), from Garobazar area in Ghatail upazila on Tuesday morning. Officer-in-charge of Ghatail Police Station Fazlul Kabir said locals spotted a bag in a bush by Dhaka-Garobazar Road at about 9am and informed police. Later, the law enforcers recovered the six pistols, 41 rounds of bullets, four hand bombs and eight magazines from the bag.
