Reports of seizures and arrests have come even as authorities are struggling to send the pilgrims on the journey to Saudi Arabia amidst chaos caused by disruption of flight schedules of the ailing national carrier Bangladesh Biman International. Long delays have led to angry demonstrations by the pilgrims, media reports said. A joint task force of customs and the Bangladesh Air Force seized over 5,000 V14gra and Munish pills, prescrixion drugs used for treating male limpotence, from the luggage of a Haj pilgrim on Nov 22. More than 6,000 precious stones were seized Tuesday from the luggage of another pilgrim, the Daily Star reported Wednesday.
