A total of nine alleged illegal Bangladeshi nationals were pushed back through the India-Bangladesh international border at Mankachar in Assam’s South Salmara-Mankachar district during an operation conducted by the Border Security Force (BSF) on Sunday morning.
According to sources, six individuals were pushed back through the Jhalarchar border point in Mankachar, while the remaining three were moved through the Shahapara border point.
Officials said that the group includes women and children.
Following the operation, a flag meeting was held between the Border Security Force (BSF) and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) to discuss the matter. However, Bangladesh has not yet accepted the individuals.
