Five Bangladeshi people, including two women and two children, have been sent to Bangladesh by India after being apprehended by the Border Security Force (BSF) as they attempted to breach the international border between the two nations and enter Indian territory.
The BSF handed these five Bangladeshi nationals over to Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) on Monday, the force said on Tuesday.
The five Bangladeshi nationals were apprehended by BSF personnel stationed at Border Out Post Madhupur, within the South Bengal Frontier, for allegedly crossing the international border unlawfully.
The BSF said that one of the Bangladeshi women admitted during questioning that she had brought her entire family into India illegally from Bangladesh in order to receive better care for her mother, but the BSF had detained them all at the border.
