A push-in attempt by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) at three border points in Lalmonirhat district failed early Friday when the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) blocked the entry of 33 men and women. The individuals were detected near the Barokhata, Poyshottibari, and Digholtari-Durgapur border areas. BGB deployed additional personnel and took strategic positions to prevent their entry into Bangladesh. Later, BSF members returned all 33 people to Indian territory between Friday night and Saturday morning.

According to BGB sources, the individuals were taken back inside India through fenced areas by BSF personnel from the 157th and 98th battalions. The Rangpur Sector Headquarters stated that such push-in attempts without following legal repatriation procedures violate international border management norms and bilateral agreements. BGB has maintained heightened patrols and intelligence surveillance to prevent illegal crossings.

Officials said the situation at all three border points is now normal, though BGB remains on high alert to counter any future attempts. The incident underscores ongoing humanitarian and diplomatic tensions surrounding cross-border expulsions.
