Acting on specific intelligence inputs, the Border Security Force (BSF) Meghalaya, in a well-coordinated joint operation with sister agencies, successfully intercepted and apprehended multiple individuals attempting to cross the international boundary illegally. In a meticulously executed operation, BSF troops intercepted eight Bangladeshi nationals along with an Indian national (the driver) traveling in an Innova vehicle towards Tura via NH-217.
They were apprehended near the international boundary while attempting to enter Bangladesh from India. In another swift and decisive operation, BSF Meghalaya troops nabbed six more Bangladeshi nationals along with two Indian nationals near the international boundary. These operations were carried out as part of BSF Meghalaya’s ongoing efforts to curb illegal infiltration and other trans-border crimes.
During the course of the operations, vigilant BSF personnel from Tura and the 4th Bn detected suspicious movements along the border and promptly took action, leading to the successful apprehension of a total of 14 Bangladeshi nationals and three Indian nationals. The apprehended individuals were subsequently handed over to concerned Police Station for further legal proceedings.
