Acting on a tip-off that the accused were coming to Khulna from Satkhira with a large consignment of shrimps injected with gel to increase their weight, a Rab team laid a trap and intercepted 2-3 vehicles to make the seizure on Thursday night.

The detainees will be handed over to the police, Rab sources said.
