Police in Brahmanbaria, Bangladesh, apprehended Shipa Begum, 39, on Saturday night during a raid on her Shantibagh residence, accusing her of being a drug dealer. Her husband, Md Ziamin, 42, managed to evade capture by using surveillance cameras installed outside their home to monitor law enforcement activity. According to Md Shahidul Islam, officer-in-charge of Brahmanbaria Sadar Model Police Station, Ziamin fled upon noticing the police presence through the CCTV system. During the operation, authorities seized 20 yaba pills, Tk 21,520 in cash, a CCTV video recorder, and two mobile phones.
