In a significant development, seven Bangladeshi nationals, including two men, two women and three children were apprehended by intelligence police in Dharmanagar under North district.
The arrests were made based on confidential information received by the authorities. It has been revealed that these individuals had entered India illegally in 2020 for employment purposes and had been residing in Bangalore since then.
The arrests were carried out on Monday when the Humsafar Express train arrived in Dharmanagar. The suspects hailing from the Rajbari and Cox's Bazar regions of Bangladesh, were taken into custody upon their attempt to leave the country. Among those arrested are Karta Mohammad Liton Sheikh (35), his wife Fatema Begum (28), along with their two children, Nurul Amin and Noor Mohammad, all residents of Ratodanga, Bangladesh. The other family includes Karta Mohammad Mamun Rashid (21), his wife Aziza Begum (19), and their child Yasin Begum, who are from Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.
Authorities have disclosed that the group entered Dharmanagar through Kailashahar in the Unakoti district, with the intent of returning to Bangladesh through the assistance of brokers. Despite their initial plan to reach Kailashahar, law enforcement acted on confidential information and apprehended the individuals in Dharmanagar itself.
A case has been officially registered against the seven Bangladeshi citizens at the Dharmanagar police station, as investigations continue.
