3 people smugglers killed in Bangladeshi police raid

THREE people smugglers accused of trafficking thousands of people were killed in a gunfight with Bangladeshi police yesterday, officers said, days after dozens of migrant remains were found in Thailand.

Police said the three “notorious” traffickers had died after being shot during an anti-trafficking raid in the southern coastal town of Teknaf in the Cox’s Bazar district, close to the border with Myanmar. The traffickers were suspected of smuggling thousands of Bangladeshi and Myanmar nationals across rough seas to Malaysia and Thailand.

“The three were the most notorious human traffickers to have been operating along the Bangladesh-Myanmar border for years,” senior police officer Jashim Uddin said.
