Ten Bangladeshi nationals, including a child, were pushed back by Indian authorities through the Muraichhara border in Kulaura upazila of Moulvibazar. Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel from the local Muraichhara camp detained them around 7 a.m. on Friday, May 8, 2026, after noticing them wandering near the border area. Following identity verification, BGB handed them over to Kulaura Police Station at around 10:30 a.m.

According to police, the group—comprising one child, three women, and six men—had previously entered India illegally at different times. They were later detained by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) and subsequently pushed back across the border into Bangladesh. After confirmation of their identities, BGB transferred them to the police, who later released them to their family members around 6 p.m.

Officials from both BGB and Kulaura Police confirmed the incident and the handover of the individuals to their relatives.
