Two teens return home from Indian correction centre
A cattle trader, who was detained by Indian Border Security Force (BSF), was handed over to Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) in Thakurgaon on Sunday night.
Meanwhile, two teenage boys of Dinajpur returned home yesterday after serving over a year in an Indian correction centre.
BSF handed over a Bangladeshi cattle trader, who was detained by them near Kantivita border in Baliadangi upazila of Thakurgaon on Sunday, to BGB through a company commander level flag meeting.
The returnee is Manik, 25, son of Mintu of Jugihaat Harinmari village in the upazila, reports our correspondent.
Lt Col Khademul Bashar, commanding officer of BGB-30 Battalion, said a patrol team of Hatkhola BSF camp caught Manik near the border area around 5:00am on Sunday when a group of cattle traders entered the Indian territory through the border. The others somehow managed to flee the scene.
In Dinajpur, two Bangladeshi teenage boys, who went to India without any passport one and half years ago, returned home through Hili Land port under Hakimpur upazila of the district yesterday.
