On being tipped off, a section of BDR from Battalion No. 23 of Teknaf numbering eight, went to Naff River late at night, which demarcates the Bangladesh-Burma border and chased a fishing trawler which was going to Maungdaw, Burma, on the opposite side of Teknaf town carrying fertilizer, said and aide of BDR from Teknaf.
Sensing the presence of the BDR, the crewmen of the trawler immediately berthed the trawler at the Naff River bank at the side of Burma and the entire crew ran away inside Burma leaving the trawler with the fertilizer.
As a result, BDR was not able to catch the smugglers. But, they brought the trawler with the fertilizer from Burma side to Teknaf near the BDR out-post in Naff River.
