We quickly got to the station after coordinating with other agencies after receiving the tip,” Das said.
Six people were waiting for a train when the cops arrived and took them into custody. At first, they said they lived in Bishalgarh. They later acknowledged, however, that they were citizens of Bangladesh and had arrived in Tripura on October 6. The group planned to settle in Mumbai, so they were on their way there. Four of the arrested people were from Kishoreganj, and two were from Noakhali, two districts in Bangladesh. They have appeared in court as part of a prosecution against the group for unlawfully entering India.
