Guwahati: At least five immigrants from Bangladesh have been arrested by the security personnel at two locations close to the Assam-Tripura border.
Three of the Bangladeshis were arrested at Churaibari checkpoint near the Assam-Tripura border while the other two were arrested at the Silchar railway station on Thursday evening.
The arrestees have been identified as Khokan Fakir, Mizanur Rahman, Fardin Islam, Shag Miya, and Ashraful Islam.
According to the police, the arrested individuals entered India illegally a few months ago in need of employment.
According to the police, they arrived in Silchar on a train on Wednesday from Guwahati.
Cachar’s superintendent of police Numal Mahatta said, “They worked in India but failed to get desired jobs, so they attempted to go back. Their abnormal body language helped the police to identify them.”
