Customs staff searched an arriving passenger in the green channel at Dhaka's Shahjalal airport on 24 July 2026. Officers of the Narcotics Control Department found about 11.8 kg of cannabis in 21 packets under clothing in a trolley bag. He had arrived on a Thai Airways flight from Bangkok.
The report names him as Md. Zulfikar Molla, as printed in the source, and describes him as an Indian national. It says a case was filed at Airport Police Station under the Narcotics Control Act 2018. He reportedly told officers he planned to stay two to three days before returning to India.
Why it matters: The man's stated plan was a stay of two to three days. The report says a case has been filed, but it gives no court outcome.
