DHAKA, 03 August 2021, (TON): India's Border Security Force (BSF) handed over 10 Bangladeshis detained while entering Bangladesh illegally to Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).
They were trying to cross the Bhurungamari border in Kurigram from India, reports our Lalmonirhat correspondent quoting Subedar Ashraf Ali, company commander of Bhurungamari's Bagbhandar BGB Camp.
The company commander said “the 10 Bangladeshis, including women and children, were handed over to the BGB through a flag meeting held in Voterhat border of Bhurungamari upazila this afternoon.”
