Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) detained and pushed back two men for illegally entering the country through Sherpur border.
The incident took place around 10:30am on Monday within the jurisdictional area of the Tawakuacha Border Outpost (BOP), which operates under the Mymensingh Battalion (39 BGB).
The detainees were identified as Md Ibrahim, 33, and Md Sharif, 18, son of Mozammel Haque from Ghanshyampur area of the same upazila.
According to BGB sources, locals spotted two unfamiliar individuals wandering in Rangajan area, roughly 300 yards inside Bangladesh from Main Pillar 1097, and alerted the BGB.
A patrol team from the border force immediately reached the spot and detained them.
During preliminary interrogation, the duo confessed that they had illegally entered India on 26 June with the assistance of a broker syndicate for work purposes. They returned to Bangladesh at around 4am on Monday through the same syndicate.
Following their detention and with the cooperation of local residents, the BGB pushed the two men back at 10:30am through the area adjacent to Main Pillar 1096/2S.
Havildar Mustafizur Rahman, Camp Commander of the Tawakuacha BGB Camp, said the BGB remains on maximum alert to prevent human trafficking and all forms of illegal trespassing.
He further noted that regular patrolling and surveillance are being strictly maintained in the border areas.
