Bangladesh Army and Armed Police Battalion (APBn) personnel recovered two pistols and four rounds of ammunition during a joint search at the Nayapara registered Rohingya refugee camp in Teknaf on Sunday afternoon, police said. No one was arrested during the operation.
Additional Deputy Inspector General Mohammad Kawsar Sikder, commander of the 16th APBn, told Jago News that officers searched a shelter after receiving a tip. They also recovered empty magazines and several bladed weapons, he said. Police were preparing to file a case when he spoke.
The army said the November 8 operation targeted suspects it believed were linked to the November 5 exchange of gunfire during an anti-trafficking raid in the Rangikhali hills. Bangladesh Army soldier Titas Sheikh was fatally shot in that earlier operation. The reported recoveries at Nayapara did not establish whether either pistol had been used in the November 5 shooting.
