Northeast Desk, 26th June: In a late-night operation on June 25, the Government Railway Police (GRP) at Agartala railway station in Tripura apprehended five individuals attempting to enter India illegally. The group included four Bangladeshi women and one Indian tout.
The detained Bangladeshi nationals were identified as Smt Meem Sultana (23), Rubaiya Sultana (20) alias Asha, Ritu Begam (28), and Jyoti Khatun (20). Authorities suspect they were seeking employment opportunities in Indian cities such as Ahmedabad and Pune but lacked the necessary documentation for travel within India.
Md Kashem Miah (24), an Indian tout from Sepahijala district in Tripura, is believed to have facilitated their illegal entry.
A case has been registered at the Agartala GRP Police Station, and all five individuals are expected to be presented before the court tomorrow. The incident underscores ongoing concerns about illegal immigration and the need for stringent border controls.
