Two women return after serving in Indian jail

Two women returned home yesterday through Benapole check-post after serving two years in an Indian prison.

Border Security Force (BSF) handed them over to Benapole check-post Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).

Benapole check-post BGB Camp Commander Abdul Wahab said the two had entered India illegally three years ago for jobs.

Police arrested them from Kolkata in West Bengal. An Indian court sentenced them to two years' imprisonment each for illegally crossing the border.

India returned them following exchange of letters between the two countries.
