Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) detained three members of Myanmar security force as they illegally entered Bangladeshi territory through Teknaf borders.

Detainees have been identified as Second Lieutenant Hein De Het of the Maungdaw Town Police Station in Rakhine State, police officer Hein Zaw, and Kyaw Naing, a member of Border Guard Police (BGP) Unit 3 based in Buthidaung.

According to 2-BGB Battalion sources, BGB personnel apprehended the three individuals around 12:00PM on Monday, July 20 after they swam across the Naf River and reached the Naityongpara border area under Teknaf Municipality.

Later that night, the border security force handed all three detainees over to Teknaf Model Police Station.

Initial investigations revealed that one detainee belongs to the Myanmar Border Guard Police (BGP), while the other two are regular security force members, all of whom had reportedly been held captive by the insurgent group Arakan Army (AA) in Rakhine State before escaping.

Teknaf Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Saiful Islam confirmed that the detainees were sent to court at approximately 11:00 AM on Tuesday (July 21) under relevant illegal entry laws, with further legal proceedings currently underway.
