Two Bangladeshi teenagers were detained by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) on Wednesday morning, April 22, 2026, for allegedly crossing the border illegally through the Panchagarh frontier. The incident occurred near the Mistripara Patshiri border in Garinabari Union, where members of the BSF’s 132 Battalion from the Moricha Camp apprehended the boys.
The detained teenagers were identified as Indra, son of Shibu Chandra Roy, and Uday, son of Somaru Chandra Roy, both aged 14 and residents of Atwari upazila in Panchagarh. According to local sources, the boys had gone to view an Indian tea garden and inadvertently crossed the main border pillar into Indian territory at Mirganj, about 150 yards inside. Local Union Chairman Monowar Hossain Dipu said he was trying to contact the local Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) camp commander regarding the matter. He noted that the proximity of the tea garden to the border often causes confusion among visitors.
Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah Mohammad Kayes of the Panchagarh-18 BGB Battalion stated that they were gathering information about the incident through local sources.
