Police yesterday found an abandoned bag in front of the Maharaja Hotel next to the AOC point of Karimganj city
A massive manhunt is underway to nab the motorcycle-borne man from Bangladesh who allegedly crossed the India-Bangladesh international border and entered Assam’s Karimganj district on Thursday, June 29.
After 48 hours of continuous investigation, police yesterday found an abandoned bag in front of the Maharaja Hotel next to the AOC point of Karimganj city.
After opening the bag, police found an expired Bangladeshi passport, a prescription, a medical report, two photographs and some Bangladeshi bread.
The police believe that the bag and the items most likely belong to the individual who entered Karimganj by riding a bike.
As per the documents found in the bag, they belong to a man identified as Mohammad Abdus Samad Chowdhury, a resident of Sylhet Jokiganj region of Bangladesh.
The man from Bangladesh entered India riding a motorcycle right under the nose of BSF posted to guard the India-Bangladesh border.
The matter came to light when CCTV footage from outside a shop where the bike parked at Madan Mohan Road in the middle of Karimganj town caught the attention of the police.
The incident has left BSF red-faced and has definitely raised a lot of eyebrows and a lot of questions about the role of the BSF posted along the India-Bangladesh border and about the larger safety and security of the nation.
While police and the BSF have launched a manhunt to nab the person, the question still remains: How did a man cross into India from Bangladesh on a bike without any security personnel or police spotting him?
