On Thursday (26th July), the Border Security Force (BSF) neutralised Bangladeshi nationals while they were trying to smuggle goods from India. The incident occurred along the Belonia-Banshpaduya border near Gate No. 63 of Tripura.
According to reports, the smugglers were identified as Zakir Hossain Millat, Mohammad Yasin Liton and Mohammad Afsar.
The trio were involved in smuggling cosmetics, garments and other items from India to Bangladesh. BSF intercepted the smugglers and this led to a confrontation between the two sides.
