Fifteen Bangladeshis, five of them fishermen, yesterday returned home on expiry of their jail terms in India
Ten Bangladeshis, including a woman and a child, returned home through Burimari land port in Lalmonirhat yesterday, after languishing in an Indian jail for three years.
The Indian Immigration police handed them over to Burimari immigration police at Patgram upazila, reports our correspondent.
Later, they were handed over to their relatives in presence of police, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and local people.
Among the ten, eight were day labourers. They hailed from Lalmonirhat, Kurigram and Dinajpur districts.
Sources said they were held by Indian Border Security Force (BSF) from different border points of Cooachbehar district in Paschimbanga, India three years ago and later sent to jails.
Away in Jessore, five Bangladeshi fishermen returned home through the Benapole check-post yesterday morning after serving nine months in Alipur Central Jail in India, reports our Benapole correspondent.
The victims hailed from Barguna and Bagerhat districts.
BGB-26 Benapole check-post camp commander M Abdullah said the Indian coastguards arrested the fishermen in January, 2012. The fishermen entered the Indian water territory by mistake while they were fishing in the Bay of Bengal.
