The Border Security Force (BSF) detained a senior Bangladeshi police officer on Saturday evening near the Hakimpur border outpost in North 24 Parganas. The officer was reportedly attempting to enter Indian territory illegally. Authorities have withheld his identity for investigative reasons and handed him over to West Bengal police for questioning. Indian officials noted this is the first time a serving Bangladeshi police officer has been caught attempting such an entry. Investigators are probing whether he acted alone or on behalf of a network. Border surveillance has since been intensified.
