India's Border Security Force (BSF) has reportedly pushed at least 80 people – including women and children – into Bangladesh through border points in Moulvibazar, Feni, Cumilla and Lalmonirhat, according to Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and local police.

Around 4am today (22 May), 13 Bangladeshi nationals – three men, three women, and seven children – were pushed across the Golabari border in Cumilla Sadar upazila.

Lt Col Mir Ali Ejaz, commander of BGB Battalion-10, confirmed the incident, saying a patrol team from BGB-60 detained the group shortly after they crossed into Bangladeshi territory. "They are currently in BGB custody and will be handed over to the district administration after verification," he said.

Lt Col ASM Zakaria, commandant of the BGB-46 Battalion, said the BSF pushed them around 8am.

Patgram Police Station Officer-in-Charge Mizanur Rahman said, "We are working with the BGB to verify their identities and take appropriate legal action."

Meanwhile, the BSF pushed 39 people into Feni through Sonagazi, Fulgazi and Chhagalnaiya borders from 12:30am to 6am on Thursday, UNB reports, quoting Lt Col Md Mosharraf Hossain, commandant of the BGB-4 Battalion in Feni.

Citing Officer-in-charge (OC) of Fulgazi police station Mohamad Lutfor Rahman, the report also states that the police took 27 people into their custody from the BGB and brought it to the notice of the higher authorities.

Chhagalnaiya OC Nazrul Islam said 12 detainees were handed over to them through Upazila Nirbahi Officer by BGB.
