In Karimganj's Jalalabad market area, police apprehended two men from Nilambazar with a country-made pistol and fake currency.

Acting on a tip-off, police launched a late-night operation in Jalalabad market in Ratabari, during which the two suspects were detained. 

Upon inspection, a 9mm country-made pistol and fake notes worth 48,000 were recovered, hidden under the seat of their motorcycle. Police sources said that one live round was also found loaded in the weapon.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Abidur Rahman (28) and Anowar Hussain (29), both residents of Taltala village under Nilambazar police station.
