The arrestees were identified as Firoj Hossain and Motin, sepoys of Bhomra land port customs.
BGB sources said some 300 goods-laden trucks entered Bangladesh from India through the port on Thursday. The sepoys were collecting 20-30 rupees from each truck, said Subedar Nur Hossain of the intelligence wing of BGB battalion-38.
At one stage, the BGB intelligence team arrested them along with the extorted money from the zero point area of the port around 10:30am.
A case was filed in this connection.
