Customs detectives have seized 19 illegally imported firearms at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka.
Emran Arms and Company brought in the consignment consisting of 14 Walther pistols and five Heckler & Koch pistols.
“The items are old and fabricated. The import policy bars imports of such firearms,” Moinul Khan, director general of Customs Intelligence and Investigation Directorate or CIID, said on Tuesday.
Their unique numbers are also mismatched, Khan said citing experts who inspected the arms.
Dhaka-based Emran Arms previously imported 58 weapons from Italy, Khan said.
The customs intelligence officials seized two illegally imported pistols at the air cargo store in the airport on Sunday.http://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/2017/07/11/customs-seizes-19-illegally-imported-firearms-at-dhaka-airport
