Photos: Collected

Sahab Uddin House in Kalatali Jhirjhiri Para area of Jhilangja Union of Cox's Bazar Sadar Upazila. He introduced himself as a college student. Behind his mask lies Yaba's booming business. Recently, this reporter got hold of some pictures of Yaba in the stomach. This Yaba businessman regularly bribes some law enforcement officers.

In the picture, Sahab Uddin, son of Mohammad Ali of Jhirjhiri neighborhood of Kalatali, is counting Yaba with one of his associates. The small pills of Yaba carried in the stomach are visible in the picture. Although the exact quantity of yaba he carried is not certain, it is believed to have been two and a half thousand pieces of yaba. Sahab Uddin bought it from a businessman in the Rohingya camp in Ukhia and brought it to his stomach.

Locals say that Sahab Uddin has been involved in the Yaba business since 2008. He can carry yaba in his stomach. As a result, he remained out of easy reach. Regularly gives bribes to all officials who have come to his attention. Due to this, those officers don't take action against him. Because of this, the syndicate became more reckless. Camp-centric syndicates are formed.

The source also says that Sahab Uddin has served as the President of the Jhilongja Ward Committee of the Nationalist Chhatra Dal for the past three times. He is also at the forefront of various terrorist activities including sabotage. From a hut house, Sahab Uddin's wealth is now eight rooms and expensive bikes. He made his own house. His syndicate now controls drug dens in the hotel-motel zone. Where they are providing retail yaba through street children every day. Things are happening in front of the eyes of law enforcement agencies. But he got the news before the raid. Due to this, the police cannot be successful in the operation.

The people of his area admitted that Sahab Uddin and his family were involved in the Yaba business.

When he went to Sahab Uddin's house, he was not found, but his mother and father were there. When his father wanted to talk to Muhammad Ali, he said, We know what you have come for. My son is not at home. Tell me what to say, or you can leave.

When I contacted Sahab Uddin on the phone, he said, I am a student. I am not involved in the drug trade. I am being conspired with. Accused Sahab Uddin hung up the phone saying to meet ‍and switched off the mobile.

Inspector (Intelligence) of Cox's Bazar Sadar Model Police Station, Durjoy Biswas, said that raids were conducted at his hideout several times. Police are still keeping watch around his house. This drug dealer will be arrested at any moment. That photo has also in the police.

Cox's Bazar Rapid Action Battalion (RAB-15) Company Commander Additional SP Anwarul Islam Shamim said the matter has come to our notice. I have started the investigation. Efforts are underway to arrest him.
