14 held foiling intrusion bid in Jessore

Members of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) on Wednesday detained 14 people from

Amrakhali check post area thwarting their attempt to enter Bangladesh from India illegally.

Being tipped off that a group of people were trying to enter the Bangladesh territory through

Putkhali border from India, a BGB team conducted a drive in the area and detained them, said

Subedar Joynal Hossain of BGB Battalion-26 of Benapole camp.

But the detainees claimed that they hail from different districts of the country, including

Gopalganj, Narail, Chandpur, Jamalpur and Jessore.

They were later handed over to Benapole Port Police Station.

A case was filed in this connection. –UNB, Benapole
