The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) has reportedly taken back 28 people who had been stranded for two days in the no man's land along the Bangabari border of Gomastapur upazila in Chapainawabganj. The group had been pushed toward Bangladesh but was stopped by the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB). According to BGB’s 16th Battalion Commander Lieutenant Colonel Mohammad Ariful Islam Masum, the individuals were no longer visible on Saturday morning, suggesting that BSF took them back into Indian territory overnight.

BGB sources said that around 3 a.m. on Wednesday, members of the 12th Battalion of Ashrafpur BSF Camp attempted to push the group—comprising 12 men, 10 women, and 6 children—across the border near pillar 203/6-R. Due to BGB’s resistance, they could not enter Bangladesh and remained in the no man’s land for two days. The BGB commander confirmed that the entire border area under the 16th Battalion remains under constant surveillance.

The BSF has not officially communicated with BGB regarding the incident, leaving some details unconfirmed.
