Kolkata, Feb 9 (NationPress) Four Bangladeshi infiltrators along with their Indian accomplice were apprehended in the Hanskhali locality of West Bengal's Nadia district, situated in close proximity to the international border.
According to sources within the district police, these four Bangladeshi infiltrators, who had crossed into India a few months ago, were attempting to return to their home country late on Saturday night.
Acting on a tip-off, officers from the local Hanskhali Police initially detained these four illegal Bangladeshi entrants. From their interrogation, authorities uncovered the identity of their Indian agent, who had facilitated their entry into India and was aiding their return to Bangladesh. Subsequently, the agent was also taken into custody.
The four apprehended Bangladeshi infiltrators have been named as Jasim Uddin, Baharul Sheikh, Quddus Sardar, and Akalima Sardar.
The Indian agent involved has been identified as Rajib Biswas, a resident of the Bogula area under Hanskhali Police Station.
All four individuals were presented to a district court in Ranaghat, Nadia district, on Sunday morning.
A police official stated that during questioning, Biswas confessed to aiding the four Bangladeshi infiltrators in entering India and facilitating their return.
