In a major crackdown on the trade of sharp weapons allegedly linked to juvenile gangs and criminal groups, the Bangladesh Army has recovered a massive stockpile of over 1,100 weapons from sales outlets and warehouses in the capital’s New Market area.

The operation, conducted on Saturday following intelligence gathered over several days, uncovered a cache of samurai swords, machetes, and other sharp-bladed weapons.

According to Army sources, many of these items resemble those used in recent violent incidents involving teenage gangs across Dhaka.
