Bangladeshi woman, Indian boyfriend arrested in Tripura

A Bangladeshi woman infiltrator and her Indian boyfriend have been arrested and sent to judicial custody for 14 days in Sepahijala district of Tripura, the police said on Friday.

The Border Security Force (BSF) detained the duo in Kamthana on Thursday and later handed them over to the police.

The woman, a resident of Bogra district in Bangladesh, allegedly entered Tripura illegally earlier this week. Her boyfriend is a resident of Bidar district in Karnataka.

The Bangladeshi woman earlier reportedly worked in beauty parlours in Mumbai and Bengaluru.

“She fell in love with the man while staying in Bengaluru. Later, she went back to Bangladesh and then illegally sneaked back inside Tripura without any valid document to meet him and travel back to Bengaluru,” a police officer said.
