Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) foiled a push-in attempt of 12 people by Indian Border Security Force (BSF) early Friday through Kushtia bordering area.
The persons, there are women and children, are currently stranded along the zero line of the international border.
The incident occurred at Charbilgathua bordering area in Pragpur Union, said Daulatpur Police chief Arifur Rahman.
BGB personnel and local residents said the group was pushed through Charmeghna border under Hoglabaria Police Station in Nadia district of India’s West Bengal.
After spotting them, locals intervened and, with BGB assistance, sent them back towards the area adjacent to border pillar 148.
The BGB troopers and local citizens have taken up positions along the bordering area to consistently block any fresh push-in attempts by the Indian border guards.
Officer Arifur said the BGB is directly handling the matter, and legal steps will follow its directions, reports bdnews24.com.
