BSF pushes in 18 Bangladeshis along Naogaon border
  Bangla Press desk: The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) has pushed 18 Bangladeshi nationals, including women and children, into Bangladesh through two border points in Naogaon’s Dhamoirhat and Sapahar upazilas early Friday morning. Lieutenant Colonel Mohammad Iqbal Hossain, commanding officer of the 14 BGB Battalion based in Patnitala, confirmed the matter. According to Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), 14 individuals - comprising four men, seven women and three children - were pushed in through the Kalupara border in Dhamoirhat upazila near border pillar 271/1-S. A BGB patrol team, led by Havildar Rupom Chakma of the Kalupara Border Outpost (BOP), later detained them after spotting them loitering inside Bangladeshi territory near Satnapara mango orchard, about 50 yards from the border.
Separately, four more Bangladeshi nationals - two women and two children - were pushed in through the Bamonpara border in Sapahar upazila near border pillar 246/2-S. BGB detained them from Rasulpur village, approximately 800 yards inside Bangladesh territory. During preliminary questioning, the detainees informed BGB that they are Bangladeshi citizens who had entered India illegally several years ago through the Satkhira and Benapole borders. Four men reportedly worked as masons in Mumbai, while the women were employed in domestic work. They were later arrested by India’s CID police at different times.
On 7 August, the group was flown to Pune Airport and handed over to the BSF through Balurghat police. Members of BSF’s 123/Sanarpara unit then transported them to the Bangladesh border and pushed them in illegally through the designated pillars. The detainees were later handed over to Dhamoirhat and Sapahar police stations for further legal procedures. This article was originally published on Daily Sun.
