Bangladesh's State Minister for Liberation War Affairs, Ishraque Hossain, conducted a raid on a suspected drug den in a Dhaka slum, carrying a pistol and accompanied by associates in plainclothes. The group detained six individuals, who claimed innocence, and handed them to police.

The minister posted and later deleted a video of the raid, which sparked social media debate over his actions.
