The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) attempted to push three individuals into Bangladesh through Meherpur border early Friday morning.
This marks the fourth such attempt at Meherpur frontier within the current month.
The incident occurred near Main Pillar 136, through the 135/7-S barbed-wire gate at the Dhala border in Gangni upazila. Havildar Shishir Kumar, the Dhala BOP Camp Commander, confirmed the details of the event.
According to local sources, BSF sent the three individuals across the barbed-wire gate into Bangladesh territory at some point during the night.
At dawn, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel and residents blocked their entry at the zero line, forcing the group to take a position in No Man’s Land.
Following the standoff, between 8am and 8:30am, the BSF took the individuals, consisting of two men and one woman, back into Indian territory. Their identities remain unknown.
The frequent recurrence of such push-in attempts in recent times has led to heightening levels of concern and anxiety among residents living in the border areas.
