Young man arrested for cultivating cannabis in front lawn

RAB-11 has arrested a 28-year-old man named Md. Mobarak Hossain, alias Kale Khan, on charges of secretly cultivating cannabis in the courtyard of his home in Siddhirganj, Narayanganj. 

During the operation, a 5-foot-7-inch-tall cannabis plant was discovered, planted near a doorway within the boundary wall of his property. The operation was carried out on Thursday night (November 12) by an operational team from the headquarters company of RAB-11, acting on a tip-off in the Shimulpara Bihari Camp area of Siddhirganj.

According to a press release issued by RAB-11, the raid was conducted following information that an individual was illegally cultivating cannabis at his residence in the Shimulpara Bihari Camp area. 

Upon noticing the presence of RAB personnel, the individual attempted to flee but was apprehended. The cannabis plant was subsequently recovered from within his premises. The arrested man, Mobarak Hossain, is the son of the late Anwar Hossain from the Shimulpara Bihari Camp area.

During initial questioning, the arrested individual revealed that he had been secretly cultivating cannabis at his home for a long time.

Confirming the incident, Captain Md. Raunak Erfan Khan, Acting Deputy Commanding Officer of RAB-11, stated that a formal case has been filed against Mobarak Hossain at the Siddhirganj Police Station under the Narcotics Control Act. He has since been produced before the court.
