The Border Security Force (BSF) of India attempted to push ten Indian nationals into Bangladesh through the Auliarhat border in Patgram upazila of Lalmonirhat on Friday night. The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) intervened and prevented the entry, forcing the BSF to retreat. The incident occurred near the 846/1-2 S border pillar under the jurisdiction of the 65 Bari Border Outpost.

According to BGB and local sources, members of the BSF’s Mahanadi camp under the 98 Battalion tried to push in ten people, including women and children, under the cover of darkness. BGB personnel and local residents resisted the attempt and kept the group on the Indian side of the zero line. Following strong protests, the BSF took the ten individuals back into Indian territory early Saturday morning.

BGB officials stated that their firm stance and local resistance compelled the BSF to withdraw and return the pushed-in individuals, marking a resolution to the overnight border tension.
