The Bangladesh Coast Guard (West Zone) has seized 31 kilogrammes of venison, including a deer's head and legs, from the Joymonirghol silo jetty area in Mongla upazila of Bagerhat.

The illegal wildlife parts were recovered during a special operation conducted on Thursday based on a tip-off, said Lt Commander Siyam-ul-Haque, media officer of the Coast Guard, yesterday.

During the operation, coast guard members discovered the venison stashed inside an abandoned sack. The contents included 31 kilogrammes of meat, one deer head, and four legs.

However, the hunters managed to flee the scene before law enforcement could apprehend anyone.

The seized items were later handed over to the Chandpai Range Forest Office for further legal procedures.
