BSF Troops Nab Bangladeshi National, Two Indian Associates with ₹2.32 Lakh near Meghalaya Border
Acting on a specific tip-off, alert BSF troops of the 110 Bn stationed in Meghalaya successfully apprehended a Bangladeshi national along with two Indian associates. The trio was caught near the international border in East Khasi Hills district, Meghalaya. The authorities seized ₹2.32 lakh in Indian currency from the suspects.
The operation took place near the India-Bangladesh border, a sensitive area known for frequent smuggling attempts. The quick response by the Border Security Force (BSF) personnel highlights the importance of vigilance in this region.
The Bangladeshi national, along with his Indian counterparts, was attempting to cross the border when intercepted by the BSF team. After being taken into custody, the individuals and the recovered currency were handed over to local police for further investigation.
Authorities suspect that the money might be linked to illegal activities in the border region, but investigations are ongoing to confirm the exact details. The timely action by the BSF not only thwarted a possible smuggling attempt but also highlighted the need for continued border surveillance.
With this arrest, security forces have once again demonstrated their commitment to securing the borders and preventing unlawful activities. The authorities have assured that more operations will follow to curb cross-border crime in the region.
