Thakurgaon: Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) today said they brought back three Bangladeshis who were detained by India's Border Security Force (BSF) two days ago on penetration charges in this northwestern frontier. BGB's Thakurgaon-based 50 BGB battalion said BSF detained three Bangladeshis who penetrated 150 yards of Indian territory at Waligarh near Dabri on March 2.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, BGB's battalion commander Lieutenant Colonel Tanzir Ahmed said that soon after receiving the information, Bangladeshi border guards communicated with their Indian counterparts and held a company commander level flag meeting the following day, resulting in the return of the detainees. BSF handed them to BGB, who then transferred them to Haripur Police Station on charges of trespassing into India.
Lieutenant Colonel Tanzir Ahmed stated, "We have successfully brought detained Bangladeshis from BSF with urgent communication. People would have to be more cautious and no one should take such risk in the future." The Bangladeshis are Tulan Pal of Thakurgaon's Baliadangi Upazila, and Mithun Singh and Manhari Chandra Singh of Atwari Upazila of the neighboring Panchagarh district.
