The 20 Bangladeshi fishermen who were captured along with their boats while fishing in the Naf River in Teknaf, Cox's Bazar, are in the custody of Myanmar's armed rebel group Arakan Army and will be brought back soon, said the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).

The Arakan Army is being contacted to bring them back, said Lieutenant Colonel Md Mohiuddin Ahmed, commander of the Teknaf 2 Battalion of Border Guard Bangladesh.

"Considering the progress of the talks, we hope it will be possible to bring back the captured Bangladeshi fishermen soon," he added.
