Indian national detained for entering Bangladesh illegally

An Indian citizen was detained from Chapainawabganj district’s Shibganj upazila on Saturday morning, reports UNB.

Banirul Sheikh, 33, was held after entering Bangladesh illegally through Maksudpur border around 8:00am, said Sazzad Sarwar, director of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) 53 Battalion.

It is unclear why he had come to Bangladesh without valid travel documents.

Meanwhile, three Bangladeshis - Abdullah, 42, Al Mamun Reza, 35, Suman, 20 - were detained with 300 bottles of contraband phensedyl in the early hours of the day. All of them are residents of Shibganj’s Ghughudanga village.

Two separate cases were filed at Shibganj police station, Sazzad said.
