BGB sends two ‘infiltrators’ back to India from Sherpur border

The two people remain unidentified

The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has “pushed back” two people to India after they allegedly tried to infiltrate through the Jhenaigati Upazila border in Sherpur.

Human traffickers tried to “push” them in through the Tawakucha border on Monday morning, said Lt Col Nurul Azim Bayezid, commander of the 39th BGB Mymensingh Battalion.

BGB members led by Tawakucha Border Outpost chief Habildar Mustafizur Rahman sent them back to the Indian territory through border pillar no. 1,097.

The identities of the two people could not be confirmed immediately.

The BGB said that they are on the highest alert to prevent all types of infiltration, including human trafficking, at the border.
