Despite heightened security along the border, the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) forcibly pushed 44 individuals into Bangladesh early Wednesday near the Barlekha border in Moulvibazar. The BGB, with help from local residents and a Union Parishad chairman, apprehended the individuals just before they reached Shahbazpur Bazaar. Previously, on May 6 and 7, the BSF had pushed in over 100 people, of whom 59 were detained by the BGB.
