Two Sundarbans robbery group surrender with guns
Two groups of Sundarbans-based robbers yesterday surrendered to Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal with 25 firearms and 1,000 bullets
The gangs' kingpins Moznu Gazi and Ilias Gazi along with nine others formally surrendered to the minister at an event held by Rapid Action Battalion (Rab)-8 at Mongla Port.

They are in police custody now, said Monjur Elahi, sub-inspector of Mongla police.
The minister commended the robbers on their surrender and realisation that they had chosen a wrong path in life.
Warning miscreants of taking stern action, he also stressed the need for making the Sundarbans safe for fishermen and others. The two gangs used to be a nightmare for fishermen and honey collectors in western parts of the Sundarbans for the last couple of years, said a leader of local Trawler Owners' Association on condition of anonymity.
