A clash between members of Border Guards Bangladesh and smugglers left five people injured at frontier village Gazipur in Satkhira Sadar upazila on Saturday.
BGB recovered 207 bottles phensidyl in abandoned condition from the spot after the clash.
Battalion Commander of Satkhira 41 BGB Lieutenant Colonel Enayet Karim told the news agency that a gang of 40 smugglers sneaked into Bangladesh with contraband drugs through a desolate place between Main Pillar No 4 and 5 at the village Friday late night.
A BGB patrol team challenged them and the gangsters, equipped with lethal weapons swooped on the border guards triggering a clash that lasted for half an hour.
The gangsters encircled the BGB team and hurled bricks at the border guards. They also attacked them with sharp weapons and sticks. Heavily outnumbered BGB fired six rounds in self defense and scare the attackers away.
At one stage the smugglers fled the spot leaving 207 bottles phensidyl behind.
