Cox's Bazar Correspondent
Members of the Ansar Battalion and embodied Ansar personnel conducted a joint operation at the Matarbari Coal Power Plant (CPGCBL) in Moheshkhali upazila of Cox's Bazar, detaining a suspect and recovering a substantial quantity of stolen iron equipment.
The joint drive was carried out between 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm on Sunday spanning from the project's "Mogdail" duty post to an open field in the Rangakhali area.
During the operation at around 8:30 pm, Ansar personnel spotted an armed gang of 10 to 15 thieves attempting to flee with valuable equipment from the power plant. As the team gave chase, the suspects dumped the stolen items into a nearby canal and attempted to escape. However, Ansar members successfully detained one suspect, identified as Kala Mia, along with approximately 400 to 450 kilograms of stolen iron scrap.
The detained individual and the recovered materials were subsequently handed over to the plant authority for further legal action.
Members of the Bangladesh Ansar and Village Defence Party (VDP) continue to maintain strict security protocols at key Key Point Installations (KPIs) across the country to safeguard critical national infrastructure.
The operation was conducted by a joint team comprising embodied Ansar PC Md. Mahmudul Haq, PC Md. Khorshedul Alam, and members Soiching Marma, Ismail, Milton Das, Abul Hashem, Amjad Hossain, Abul Kashem, and Nizam, alongside Ansar Battalion Subedar Md. Sabdar Ali, Naib Subedar Md. Abul Khaleq, Naik Md. Angur Mondal, Lance Naik Md. Tofazzal Hossain, and Sepoy Md. Abdul Jalil.
