A police team conducted a raid in Cox’s Bazar’s Dariyanagar Borochhora after being tipped off about the trafficking scheme on Tuesday night.
But the law enforcers were unable to detain the
smugglers, who fled the scene when the police arrived, said the OC.
“A trafficking racket has recently become active and have been picking up Rohingyas from different refugee camps in Ukhiya and Teknaf to smuggle them out of the country,” he said.
