9 Bangladeshi citizens held in Tripura for ‘illegally entering’ India

The police said the arrested Bangladeshi citizens had been staying in rented premises for the past month using Indian documents. The three Indians held in the case are all from the eastern state of Bihar.

The Bangladeshi nationals are said to have entered India through different routes. They allegedly hail from Gopalganj in Bangladesh and sold blankets and other items on the Indian side.

“We have charged them under the Indian Passport Act. We are investigating the matter,” Baidya said.
