An Indian national allegedly involved in smuggling was detained by the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) from a hospital in Dhaka's Moghbazar area today (5 May).
The detainee, identified as Sujon Barman, son of Mongol Barman from Bottoli village in Agartala, capital of the Indian state of Tripura, allegedly entered Bangladesh Sunday (4 May) evening with the help of a smuggling syndicate operating along the border. He was carrying a bullet injury at the time, which helped BGB narrow their search to hospitals, said BGB headquarters Public Relations Officer Md Shariful Islam.
Sources at the BGB headquarters in Dhaka said that the BGB had received secret information that Sujon, who had sustained gunshot wounds, entered Bangladesh illegally with the help of the syndicate.
