In 2013, a young girl çalled Oishee Rahman, an addict of Yaba, stabbed her sleeping parent to death while sleeping because they sized her cell phone (angry she mixed their coffee with sedatives), locked her younger brother in the bathroom and called a friend to pick her up. She latter handed herself to the police.
Rahman was sentenced to death in November 2015. In its verdict, the court said Rahman had "planned the murder well ahead." She was 19 years old at the time.

"Our government is serious about stopping yaba," said Najnin Sarwar Kaberi, organizing secretary for the ruling Awami League party in Cox's Bazar, a fishing town in Bangladesh.
"But it's difficult because some junior officials are involved in smuggling and some foolish border guards are taking payments and letting the drugs in. It's very hard to find out who is involved," she said.
