Four Bangladeshi nationals, one Indian tout held
Four Bangladeshi nationals including two women and one Indian tout were arrested by the Border Security Force (BSF) and Tripura police at old matai of Rishyamukh block late Friday night.
The police stated that they received a information regarding four Bangladeshi nationals who have entered India illegally were staying in a house, on the basis of the information Police personnel from Rishyamukh outpost and Border Security Force (BSF) conducted raid in the house of one Indian tout identified as Ashish Majumdar. During the raid Police personnel from Rishyamukh outpost and Border Security Force (BSF) arrested four Bangladeshi nationals including two women who have entered India illegally without any valid documents. The Indian tout Ashish Majumdar was also arrested by them.
After the preliminary investigation the four Bangladeshi nationals revealed that they came to India to go to Surat in Gujarat. We have registered a case against the arrested four Bangladeshi nationals under the Passport Act, said police.
We launched a hunt to track down the ‘Agents’ who are facilitating the infiltration of the people from Bangladesh. The agents locally known as ‘Linemen’ are active in specific border areas marked for the intrusion from across the border. The places are fenced and guarded, but the ‘Linemen’ have the access and the ability to transfer the people through safe corridors in lieu of money. Most of the infiltration bids occurred during the night and the Agents arranged ladders on both sides of the fencing to smuggle men and women who pay for the service, said the cops.
