Contraband medicine worth Tk 34 lakh recovered at ZIA
Customs authorities recovered contraband medicine worth around Tk 34 lakh from an abandoned bag at Zia International Airport (ZIA) yesterday.
The bag containing 11,136 Viagra tablets was found in a trolley at the terminal on the ground floor at 2:00pm.
A tag attached to the bag reads 'Abul Khair' and 'Flight No. SV 808', customs sources said, adding that the passenger has arrived from Saudi Arabia.
There was a huge rush when two flights landed at the same time and the passenger managed to evade the intelligence, said a customs official.
