Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) detained three individuals on Wednesday morning while they were attempting to cross into India through the Madhabpur border in Habiganj. The arrest took place around 6:30 a.m. in the Mohanpur area under the Dharmaghar Border Outpost of the 25 BGB Sarail Battalion. The detainees were identified as Ujjal Chandra Dev, Mosharaf Hossain, and Rahul, all residents of nearby villages.

According to BGB sources, the trio was apprehended about 200 yards inside Bangladesh territory near border pillar 1994/4-S. During questioning, Ujjal Chandra Dev stated that he was trying to visit his ailing sister in Agartala, India, and had paid 10,000 taka for assistance from the other two men. BGB seized 500 Bangladeshi taka, 300 Indian rupees, and an Android mobile phone from them.

The detainees were handed over to Madhabpur Police Station, where a case has been filed. The 25 BGB Sarail Battalion said its operations to prevent illegal border crossings in the Madhabpur area will continue.
