The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has sent back five people who arrived in Shapuree Dwip from Myanmar on Saturday.
The five Myanmar nationals, including a woman with bullet wounds, were sent back on Sunday morning, reports Dhaka Tribune.
BGB officials did not comment on the development so far.
Meanwhile, the sound of gunfire was heard on the other side of the Naf River at around 10am on Sunday, Abdus Salam, UP member of ward no 9 of Shapuree Dwip, told Dhaka Tribune.
Meanwhile, locals in Shapuree Dwip in Teknaf expressed fear after intermittent explosions were heard due to the clashes and firing between the Arakan Army and the armed forces in Myanmar's Rakhine state.
According to reports, BGB and Coast Guard members are strictly patrolling the Naf River area to prevent infiltration.
