The BGB said that 13 people from 4 families who were pushed through the border under the responsibility of the Matua border post in Chagalnaiya upazila have been arrested and handed over to the police station. The local administration will take necessary action against them.
Quoting the detainees, BGB officials said that the 13 Bangladeshis were brought to the border area with their hands and eyes tied. Later, taking advantage of the hostile weather, everyone was untied and blindfolded and pushed back to Bangladesh.
Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Chhagalnaiya Police Station Nazrul Islam said that the 13 people handed over to the police station by the BGB have been kept in a room of the local Matua Primary School. They are being provided with all kinds of assistance, including food.
