Assistant Commissioner Md Al Amin, who participated in the drive, told the news agency that they conducted the drive on being tipped off and unearthed the fabrics imported under bond facility.
Owner of the warehouses did not come after repeated calls and that is why we broke the lock open. Moreover, the people who were present during the drive failed to show any valid documents, he added.
