BGB detains 10 for 'illegally entry'

Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) on Tuesday claimed to have detained 10 people while they were entering the country illegally from India via Moheshpur border in Jhenaidah on Monday.

All the detainees claimed to be Bangladeshi nationals, BGB officials said.

A patrol team of BGB-58 conducted a drive in the area and detained them, said Md Saiful Islam, assistant director of the unit, reports UNB.

"They were held while entering the country from India without valid documents."

Later, the detainees were handed over to the Moheshpur police station. A case has been filed in this regard, Saiful added.
