Smuggling of Phensedyl, narcotics, fake notes continues amid lockdown on Bengal-Bangladesh border.
According to BSF officials, most of the smuggling along the India Bangladesh border takes place through the South Bengal Frontier.
Notwithstanding the lockdown and sealing of the international border along West Bengal and Bangladesh in response to the coroanvirus pandemic, miscreants across the India Bangladesh border are still actively smuggling Phensedyl, narcotics and Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN).
On Friday, guards at the Border Security Force’s (BSF) Dayarampur outpost, who hitherto knew that narcotics could be found inside vehicles and clothes, had the new experience of seizing several bottles of Phensedyl hidden under cooked khichdi.
In the past two weeks, the South Bengal Frontier of the BSF has seized more than 6,000 units of Phensedyl, a cough syrup usually smuggled from India to Bangladesh, in at least ten cases. Half a dozen of people were arrested in these incidents. Apart from this, in the past two days alone, 1,850 units of Phensedyl were seized in two separate incidents
