Bangladesh Border Guard (BGB) thwarted an attempt by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) to push 33 people into Bangladesh through three separate points along the Lalmonirhat border on Friday morning. The incidents occurred under the jurisdiction of BGB’s 15th and 61st battalions, which confirmed the events. According to BGB’s media cell, 11 people were stopped near the Borkhata Border Outpost (BOP) and 10 near the Poyshottibari BOP, while another 12 were detected near border pillars 925 and 927/7S under the Durgapur and Digholtari BOPs.

BGB patrol teams quickly reached the locations and took preventive measures, stopping the individuals from entering Bangladesh. The people involved remained inside Indian territory, and BGB increased patrols and surveillance in the affected areas. Communication with the counterpart BSF battalion continues to verify the identities of those involved.

Local sources reported a recent rise in attempted push-ins along various border areas. In response, BGB has strengthened patrols and maintained regular contact with BSF to prevent illegal crossings.
