Bangladesh Coast Guard yesterday claimed to have seized around 9 lakh Yaba pills from a boat in Teknaf's Shah Porir Dwip along Bangladesh-Myanmar border on Tuesday night.

The coastguard, however, could not arrest anyone as the persons, who carried the Yaba, fled the scene leaving the boat sensing the drive in the river Naaf, said Commander SM Moin Uddin of Coast Guard Chittagong (south-east zone) at a press briefing at Teknaf Coast Guard Station.

Later, they found the Yaba pills in six sacks after searching the boat, he added.
