The Daily Star's report dated 21.3.04. regarding recovery of heroin by a BDR team from a village at Manikchalk in Godagari upazila on Friday caught my attention.

There were some conflicting claims made by the BDR and the locals on the quantity of heroin recovered and arrest of two persons, which the BDR denied. The BDR claims to have recovered 4.6.kg whereas locals say it would be 12kg.

In my opinion, the facts can only be unearthed through a neutral investigation and interrogation of the man from whose thatched house the heroin was recovered.
