In a late-evening operation on Saturday, authorities apprehended eleven Bangladeshi nationals from Agartala Railway Station. The group, consisting of five females and six males, was caught attempting to enter India illegally. They reportedly intended to travel to various cities including Bengaluru, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, and Odisha via train.

Officer In-Charge Tapas Das stated, “Agartala GRP has registered a case in this regard and the accused will be presented before the court tomorrow.”
This incident has drawn attention due to ongoing issues of illegal immigration across the Bangladesh-India border, prompting heightened vigilance from authorities. Earlier in the week, four Bangladeshi women and one Indian citizen were arrested at Agartala railway station. The arrested individuals were identified as Meem Sultana (23), Rubaiya Sultana alias Asha (20), Ritu Begam (28), and Jyoti Khatun (20), all residents of Bangladesh. The Indian citizen was identified as Kashem Miah (24), a resident of Sepahijala, Tripura.
The investigation revealed that some of the Bangladeshi nationals intended to travel to Ahmedabad, while others were planning to go to Pune by train. Md Kashem Miah is believed to be the facilitator, helping in the illegal entry and travel of these individuals within India. The GRP has registered a case at the Agartala Police Station, and the accused will be presented in His Majesty’s Court tomorrow.
