Nowhere to hide
Around one thousand pieces of yaba pills were surgically extracted from a drug peddler's abdomen in Barisal yesterday.
The peddler, Nur-e-Alam, 45, admitted to carrying the pills in his rectum after police detained him along with three of his associates during a raid in Rupatali area of the city early morning, said Nasiruddin Mallick, assistant commissioner (AC) of Barisal Metropolitan Police detective branch.
Following his confession, police took him to Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital for surgery, he added.
