Gomati (Tripura) | November 1, 2024 10:41:48 PM IST
The Border Security Force arrested two Rohingya migrants at the Karbook bus stand in the Gomati District of Tripura, while they were planning to exfiltrate into Bangladesh, an official release stated on Friday.

Both the apprehended Rohingya illegal migrants are residents of the Rohingya Refugee Camp located in Cox Bazar, Bangladesh. Indian currency, mobile and UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) card were recovered from their possession, the release stated.

In addition, alert troops of BSF Tripura in different operations foiled various attempts of trans-border smuggling along the Indo-Bangladesh border and seized 1,600 kgs of sugar and other contraband items worth Rs 4,76,479.

BSF has enhanced the surveillance along the border to prevent trans-border crime and infiltration, post-political crisis in Bangladesh, the release stated.

In August 2024, a student-led movement ousted Bangladesh's Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, after weeks of protests and clashes that killed over 600 people. Hasina, 76, fled to India on August 5 and an interim government led by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus was formed. (ANI)
