Bangladeshi infiltrator caught near the international border

Punjab: Border Security Force (BSF) arrested a Bangladeshi infiltrator near Rajatal Border Observation Post (BOP) yesterday. After initial interrogation he was handed over to the police for further action. BSF Company Commander Nilesh Kumar told the police that the intruder was found roaming near the barbed fence. He did not have any valid documents to enter India. He was identified as Abdu Shakur (21) from Bangladesh. No objectionable item was found from him.

After preliminary investigation, he was handed over to Gharinda police, where a case was registered against him under the Foreigners Act. Police officials said a Bangladeshi national now living in Pakistan had lured him to come there. He said he was produced in court and brought on three-day police remand for further investigation. Although nothing incriminating was found on him, security and intelligence agencies will interrogate him during further investigation.
