Agartala, March 30, 2026: Tripura Police on Monday detained three Bangladeshi nationals and one Indian tout in separate operations for allegedly crossing into Indian territory illegally.

West Agartala Police said BSF personnel apprehended Sohag Mia, a resident of Brahmanbaria, along the India-Bangladesh border in Joypur following a tip-off. He was later handed over to police, and a case has been registered.

In another operation, Jatrapur police in Sepahijala district intercepted a vehicle during naka checking and arrested two Bangladeshi nationals—Mohammad Yasin and Mohammad Hizbul of Barisal—along with an Indian tout, Md. Mohiuddin of Sepahijala.

Police recovered three mobile phones and 1,810 Bangladeshi taka from their possession. Preliminary investigation suggests the Bangladeshi nationals entered India with the tout’s help to work as masons and were planning to travel to Sonamura for employment.

All four accused are in custody, and further legal proceedings are underway.
