Assam police said that at least 16 Bangladeshi intruders entered Indian territory via different borders on August 18 night. Assam Police arrested three intruders from Bangladesh on August 19, the night of their unauthorised entry into India via Tripura. Asadul Islam, MD Sarwar, and MD Abu Shaid were the three people taken into custody, all residents of Bangladesh’s Rajshahi area.
The authorities found that one of the men had previously entered India illegally and had an Aadhaar card. Merely responding to the occurrence on social media, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma wrote, “Assam Police apprehended three Bangladeshi nationals last night who entered India from the Tripura side.” The males had intended to go to Chennai for jobs, he continued. The group’s possession of an Aadhaar card raises concerns about potential abuse and difficulties stopping repeated unauthorised entries. India’s biometric identity system, Aadhaar, is only intended to be distributed to its citizens. The three men were allegedly deported back to Bangladesh after their arrest.
Another significant development was the arrest of a Bangladeshi national on August 19 night by Dhubri police from Jogomaya Ghat, which is located in the centre of the town. Later, the woman was brought to the police station in Dhubri Sadar to be questioned. The national from Bangladesh told the journalists, “We began our journey by bus and eventually arrived at a forest. We took a lot of chances along the road, staying at two houses after crossing a river. After crossing three rivers on August 18, we landed in Assam, India. We crossed the border and viewed the BSF camp from a swamp.
As we saw, the BSF was cruising the area. The woman went on to say that she and two other women and one male crossed the border with the assistance of brokers. Even though I was terrified, I felt a little bit safer with them around. We were told that my husband would be with me again after the four of us crossed the border. I was cut off from the group, though, and I have no idea what became of them. Two brokers were involved, one from Bangladesh named Halim and one from India named Ali. The brokers took my suitcase and cell phone, leaving me with nothing. I yelled the brokers’ names this evening when I saw them in an automobile, but they didn’t stop. With the assistance of another individual, I called them, and the broker told him to hold on to my call. They charged me 2,500 Bangladeshi takas to travel to India, and because we were broke then, they said that my husband and I would have to pay 20,000 takas apiece once we began earning money in India. My spouse and I were split up last night, and I have no idea where he is. Together, we departed Bangladesh on August 17″, the intruder added. Police said that they are still looking for another 12 Bangladeshi intruders who entered Assam on the August 18 night.
