"Bangladeshi officials say an army major has been dismissed for carrying hundreds of bottles of illegal cough syrup.
Reza Shah Mohammad Zillullah was found guilty of transporting the syrup - locally known as Phensedyl - by a military court following his arrest last month.
He has also been sentenced to one year in prison.
The use of the cough syrup is banned in Bangladesh because of widespread abuse.
