Rapid Action Battalion seized 1,500 bottles of contraband phensidyl syrup from a truck at Elephant Road in the city yesterday and arrested a man in this connection.

Acting on a tip-off, a team of RAB-10 intercepted an onion-laden truck at Elephant Road near the New Market at about 1:45am and recovered the banned Indian cough syrup after searching it.

The elite force also arrested truck driver Abul Hossain alias Khokan, 40, for carrying the contraband items in his vehicle, said a RAB press release.
