Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) in an anti-narcotics drive at Mohammadpur Geneva Camp detained around 100 people along with various types of drugs on Saturday, reports UNB.

The Geneva Camp is a place of makeshift residences of several thousand stranded Pakistanis.

He claimed that the elite force members recovered a huge quantity of Yaba pills, hemp and other drugs during the drive.
