Seven pick-up vans, a truck and a water vessel were confiscated in the process. A river police patrol at Fatullah's Dharmaganj intercepted a Kishoreganj-bound bulkhead ship carrying about 70 people around 11:45 pm on Tuesday, said OC Aslam. Later, a truck carrying almost 60 people was stopped in the Signboard area around 1:30 am on Wednesday by a team of law enforcers led by Fatullah Police Inspector Tariqul Islam. The passengers were mostly factory workers in Fatullah, who are currently out of jobs due to the shutdown, according to OC Aslam. They were trying to flee to their villages due to fears of getting infected with the virus.
