Joint forces comprising members of the Bangladesh Army, police, Narcotics Control Department (DNC) and civil administration conducted the raid. During the search, law enforcers recovered 496 pieces of banned yaba tablets and seven country-made sharp weapons, including Chinese axes, pocket knives and stainless steel weapons, from several concealed rooms inside the building. The court also ordered an additional two months of imprisonment in case of failure to pay the fine. Major Ishraq Rahman, commander of the Pirojpur Army Camp and leader of the operation, said the drive was part of the government's zero-tolerance policy against drugs.
