The BSF also arrested three Indian touts for facilitating the Bangladeshis’ entry into the country without any legal documents and passports.
A BSF spokesman said that the 15 Bangladeshi nationals and the three Indian touts were arrested on Thursday night from Kailashahar in the Unakoti district in northern Tripura.
He stated that all the 15 intruders were residents of Moulvibazar, Sunamganj, Netragunj, Netrokona, and Barisal in Bangladesh. A special operation was launched in association with Tripura Police, during which two Bangladeshi nationals were apprehended in West Tripura while they were trying to cross over to Bangladesh.
The BSF has significantly intensified its vigilance and operational efforts to combat the rising trend of narcotics smuggling. Recent months have seen multiple successful interceptions, demonstrating the force’s unwavering commitment to border security.
