Dimapur, Oct. 15 (EMN): Thirty-one Bangladeshi nationals including 13 minor were detained on Monday at the Guwahati railway station by the GRP personnel at around 10 am.
“The group came to Guwahati from Bengaluru onboard the Guwahati-Bangalore Express.
They were waiting to board the Kanchanjungha express to go to Agartala,” Chief Public Relations Officer Pranav Jyoti Sharma said.
“The arrested person could not produce any valid documents in support of their being Indian citizens,” Sharma added.
During questioning, they admitted that they were from Bangladesh and had entered India without any valid documents some four years ago and were working in Bengaluru as manual labourers.
“Their plan was to reach Agartala and then return to Bangladesh by crossing the border,” Das said.
