In an alert move, personnel of Assam police tracked and apprehended 2 Bangladeshi nationals near the International border.”
Earlier this month, six infiltrators, including two Bangladeshi women, were captured by Assam police and turned over to authorities in the neighbouring nation, the Assam CM had announced.
Since the unrest in Bangladesh began in August of this year, around 167 individuals have been detained for unauthorised entry into India and sent back to Bangladesh.
