An Indian national was arrested for trying to smuggle mobile phones into Bangladesh through the Petrapole integrated check-post in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district, the Border Security Force (BSF) said today.

Acting on a tip-off, BSF personnel stopped a truck at the international border on Saturday and seized six new mobile phones concealed in the driver's cabin, the BSF said in a statement.
