Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has arrested a youth named Rafique with Indian documents and currency near the Tekergat border in Tahirpur, Sunamganj. Rafique, son of the late Rusmat Ali from Borochhara, was detained early Monday morning while re-entering Bangladesh. BGB recovered 34,000 Indian rupees, an Indian NID card, and a driving license from his possession. He is suspected of being involved in illegal hundi (informal money transfer) activities.

India is ramping up its border surveillance by adding 16 new battalions to the Border Security Force (BSF), bringing in nearly 17,000 additional personnel. The country is also establishing two new forward headquarters—one in Jammu to enhance operations along the Pakistan border, and another in Mizoram to focus on the eastern frontier with Bangladesh. The move signals heightened vigilance and intelligence operations on both borders.

Following the Pahalgam attack, cross-border firing was reported near the Tutmar Gali post in India-controlled Kashmir and the Lepa sector in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Though no casualties have been confirmed, local residents—particularly in Karnah, Kupwara—have begun rebuilding underground bunkers at their own expense. The activity reflects renewed fears on both sides of the Line of Control, as memories of past destruction resurface among civilians.

The ongoing conflict between Myanmar’s military junta and the Arakan Army in Rakhine has triggered a sharp increase in Rohingya entering Bangladesh. With civilians caught in the crossfire, data suggests an average of 6,500 illegal crossings per month. Over the past 18 months, biometric registration has been completed for 115,000 new entrants, but experts estimate an additional 5,000–10,000 remain unregistered in border regions. Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel, facing difficult terrain and resource limitations, are unable to contain the inflow effectively. Security experts have also raised concerns over potential cross-border corridors being exploited.

Bangladesh Coast Guard has detained 10 individuals attempting to smuggle a large quantity of urea fertilizer into Myanmar’s Rakhine State. The detainees hail from Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Noakhali, and the Rohingya refugee camp in Teknaf. The seized fertilizer was handed over to Teknaf Customs, while the suspects and their boat were transferred to Teknaf Model Police Station for further legal action.

Two Bangladeshi citizens, including an SSC examinee named Rimon, were detained by the BSF while taking photos near the Patgram border in Lalmonirhat. Rimon is the son of Mostak Hossain, and the other detainee, Sazedul Islam, is from Bogura. They had gone to visit the area and were detained by about 25 BSF personnel near a tea garden close to the border.

The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) returned two Bangladeshi farmers captured from the Dinajpur border, following the handover of two Indian nationals by the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB). The returned farmers were Enamul Islam and his son Masud Rana from the Dharmojain area. Notably, the Indian citizens were initially captured by Bangladeshi villagers in retaliation for the BSF’s earlier action.

Tension flared along the Dinajpur border as India's BSF detained two Bangladeshi citizens, Enamul Islam (50) and his son Masum (15), while they were harvesting paddy near the Dharmajoyn border. In retaliation, local villagers captured two Indian nationals, Abinash Tudu and Philip Soren, and held them at Karulia Primary School. The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has initiated talks with Indian counterparts, and a flag meeting is underway to resolve the matter diplomatically.

Four fishermen, all Rohingya residents of the Jadimura Camp-27 in Teknaf, were reportedly abducted by Myanmar’s rebel group Arakan Army near Lal Dwip on the Naf River. The abducted individuals are Arafat (21), Anis Ullah (22), Mohammad Jaber (14), and Anwar Sadek. Local boatman Nur Mohammad said the rebels swooped in while the fishermen were working, though several others managed to escape. Local authorities have been informed.

India has ramped up surveillance along its borders with Bangladesh and Myanmar amid concerns over potential unrest. Following recent violence in West Bengal’s Murshidabad and clashes during anti-Waqf law protests, Indian authorities suspect cross-border elements played a role. Intelligence reports submitted to the central government allege that Bangladeshi agitators were involved in inciting the unrest. In response, Indian forces have intensified patrols along the eastern frontiers, amid fears of possible infiltration or destabilization attempts through these porous borders.

A Pakistani woman named Sayyera was denied entry into Pakistan with her nine-month-old baby, Azlaan, because the child holds an Indian passport. Sayyera and her Indian husband Farhan had traveled to the border from Delhi, only to be separated by passport regulations. Border officials cited the baby’s Indian citizenship as the reason for denial, forcing the child to return with the father.

Tensions flared along the Line of Control in Kashmir as Pakistani security forces reportedly destroyed Indian military posts and bunkers in retaliation for alleged unprovoked firing. According to Pakistan’s military, the strikes occurred on the night of April 29–30.

On Tuesday, four Indian Rafale fighter jets, patrolling the Kashmir Line of Control, fled after detecting the presence of Pakistani forces. The Indian aircraft were illegally patrolling the airspace of Jammu and Kashmir when the Pakistan Air Force detected their presence and responded quickly, forcing the jets to retreat. Security sources confirmed that this was part of a coordinated defensive response aimed at deterring any potential attack along the Line of Control.

Cross-border gunfire between Indian and Pakistani troops continued for the sixth straight day. According to Indian military sources, Pakistani forces opened fire from across the international border in the Pargwal sector. The firing, which reportedly began Tuesday night and continued into early Wednesday, affected the Nowshera, Sunderbani, and Akhnoor sectors in Jammu and Kashmir along the Line of Control (LoC).

Indian forces returned fire in response to what they described as “unprovoked” aggression. So far, Pakistan has not commented on the allegations.

According to ISPR, Pakistan’s security forces successfully repelled infiltration attempts by militants across the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Hasan Khel, North Waziristan, from April 25-27.
