The apprehended have been identified as Md Didarul Islam, Santu Khan, Ismile Hussain Rahat, Sakib Hussain, Shati Akhter and Mim Seikh.
”All of them have been pushed back across the border”, Sarma added.
The chief minister, however, did not mention from which sector of the Indo-Bangladesh border they were intercepted.
Around 167 people have been so far apprehended for illegally entering the country and pushed back to Bangladesh since the turmoil broke out in the neighbouring country in August this year.
BSF has intensified its vigil along the 1,885 km long Indo- Bangladesh border in the North East since the disturbances began in Bangladesh. Assam Police is also maintaining a high alert along the Indo-Bangladesh border to ensure that no person can enter the state illegally, Director General of Police G P Singh had earlier said.
