In a significant development, police have seized 300 bullets of a Chinese-made rifle that were found abandoned in the Pallabi area of the capital. The operation took place late on Friday night, and the ammunition was discovered at an under-construction building located on Baunia Beribadh Road within the jurisdiction of Pallabi Police Station.


According to a press release issued by Pallabi Thana Police, the bullets were recovered at approximately 11:15 pm during a routine patrol in the area. Authorities have confirmed that the bullets, which are believed to be of Chinese origin, were left unattended and posed a potential security risk. The ammunition was safely seized by the police team to prevent any further misuse.

The police have initiated an investigation into the origin of the bullets, though no arrests have been made so far. The under-construction building where the ammunition was found remains under surveillance, with authorities focusing on uncovering any connections to criminal or illegal activities.

A case has been registered in connection with the recovery of the bullets, and the police are working diligently to trace those responsible for leaving the firearms unattended. The seizure has raised concerns about the illegal trafficking of weapons and ammunition, particularly from foreign sources, which could potentially be used for illicit activities.

Authorities are urging citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to local law enforcement as investigations into this incident continue. The Pallabi Police are also reviewing surveillance footage in the area to aid in identifying potential suspects involved in the unlawful storage of the weaponry.

The seizure has sparked renewed calls for enhanced measures to curb the trafficking of illegal firearms and ammunition in the region, with many calling for more stringent security protocols in construction zones and other vulnerable areas. The police have promised to remain proactive in tackling such issues to ensure the safety and security of the public.
