BSF nab 11 Hindu Bangladeshis in Meghalaya
Guwahati, Dec 6 (IBNS): The BSF troops deployed at Baghmara in Meghalaya’s East Khasi Hills district nabbed 11 Bangladeshi Hindu nationals including 4 minors during checking of vehicles on Hill road NH-62 (Baghmara to Tura) on Wednesday.
The nabbed Bangladeshi nationals were identified as Nirmal Sarkar (34 yrs), Pronoy Dey(23 yrs) Sapan Barman (33 yrs), Kabi Ranjan Dey (25 yrs), Nupur Talukdar (22 yrs), Suma Sarkar (25yrs), Kana Rai (20 yrs), and one Indian Tout namely Manmohan Majumdar (48 yrs).
The BSF Party also seized Indian currency of Rs 8,000 and Bangladeshi currency 47,000 Taka along with other personal belongings from their possession.
These Bangladesh nationals are residents of Netrakona and Sunamganj of Bangladesh.
It is mentioned that Baghmara is very close to the International Border. Due to non-existence of Indo-Bangladesh border fence at many places, at times Bangladeshi nationals illegally enter into Indian territory taking advantage of thick vegetation.
In this case, these Hindu Bangladeshis were trying to infiltrate into Indian territory through unfenced jungle area for further safe passage.
Four others were minors.
