Khokon is suspected to be involved with a ring that supplies the Meth drug.Meanwhile, on Saturday, the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) also seized Tk12.5 crore worth of the Meth drug.Authorities informed that prolonged use of this drug may affect arteries, which can result in bleeding, and cause serious damage to the heart, kidneys and liver.Recently, the authorities have also intercepted 13 consignments of crystal meth mostly in Dhaka, all of which reportedly came from Myanmar, Dhaka Tribune reported.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
