In May this year, the Border Security Force (BSF) nabbed a man named Mohammed Salim Ansari after finding him roaming suspiciously near the India-Bangladesh border. It was later discovered that he is a Bangladeshi national.
During the interrogation, Salim confessed to illegally entering Indian territory about 4 years ago. He also became a recipient of the ‘imam bhata‘ (monthly allowance for imams as sanctioned by the Mamata government) of ₹3000.
