BSF arrests 15 Bangladesh nationals and Indian touts in Tripura border security operation

The Border Security Force (BSF) have arrested 15 Bangladesh nationals in Tripura for illegally entering India.

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 13 Bangladesh nationals and the three Indian touts were arrested on Thursday night from Kailashahar in the Unakoti district in northern Tripura.


He said that all the 13 intruders were residents of Moulvibazar, Sunamgunj, Netragunj, Netrokona, and Barisal in Bangladesh.

A special operation was launched in association with Tripura Police in which two Bangladesh nationals were apprehended in West Tripura when 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.
