The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) this morning (24 July) foiled an alleged attempt by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) to push eight people into Bangladesh through the Kushtia border.
The incident occurred at around 5:10am in the border area under the jurisdiction of the Joypur Border Outpost (BOP) of the Kushtia Battalion (47 BGB).
According to the BGB, members of the BSF’s Char Meghna Camp under its 146 Battalion attempted to make the group swim across the river into Bangladesh through the area adjacent to border pillar 152/1-S.
The group comprised two men, four women, and two transgender individuals.
The individuals later returned to Indian territory through the river, and the push-in attempt was unsuccessful.
The BGB said it remains on high alert to prevent illegal border crossings and violations of border laws, adding that it continues to carry out its duties to ensure border security.
