BSF detains Bangladeshi
Indian Border Security Force (BSF) detained a Bangladesh national from bordering Sapahar upazila in Naogaon early yesterday.
The arrestee, Abdus Salam Babu, 30, son of Rahmat Ali, is a resident of Boldiaghat village in the upazila.
Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) officials in Sapahar said a patrol team of BSF 60 Battalion caught Salam in Adaganga area while a group of cattle traders were returning to the country with Indian cattle in the early hours.
The other members of the group, however, managed to avoid arrest and returned home.
Lt Col Khijir Khan, commanding officer (CO) of BGB 14 Battalion, said they have urged their Indian counterparts to return the Bangladeshi national through a flag meeting but got no response.
With the latest arrest, the number of detainees now stands at nine in the last 10 days, the CO said.
