10 Bangladeshi Hindus Detained in Tripura For Illegally Entering India

One of the 10 Bangladeshi nationals said they were facing continuous threats and intimidation.

Agartala Tripura Police on Saturday detained 10 Bangladeshi nationals, belonging to the Hindu community, for illegally entering India after fleeing their village due to unrest and tensions, an official said.

A police officer said that the 10 Bangladeshi nationals - including two women, three teenagers and an elderly person - were detained from the Ambassa railway station in Tripura while they were trying to board train bound for Silchar in Assam. 

“We will initiate legal proceedings against the Bangladeshi nationals as per law,” the official said.
