2 Bangladeshi Nationals Detained
Jul 12, 2025Two Bangladeshi nationals were detained by police on Friday evening at the Belfang naka point near Bijalbari in Tripura during a routine security check along the Khowai–Mohanpur section of the national highway.
The police stated that, an auto-rickshaw traveling from Bijalbari towards Khowai was stopped at the checkpoint for a standard inspection. The vehicle was carrying two male passengers, who initially claimed they were coming from Mohanpur and heading towards Khowai.
However, upon further questioning, the two individuals admitted to being Bangladeshi citizens. They were identified as Khokon Sarkar and Anik Sarkar. Both were immediately taken into custody and transported to the Bijalbari police station for further interrogation.
Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances of their entry into India and whether they had any local contacts or affiliations with a larger network. Police have not ruled out the possibility of additional arrests as the investigation continues.
