Two police personnel detained by the Border Security Force (BSF) of India along the Brahmanpara border in Cumilla were released after 15 hours.

Indian authorities handed them over to a Bangladeshi delegation at 1:50 PM on Friday.

The released personnel are Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Imran Hossain and Constable Rohit Dewan of Brahmanpara Police Station. Brahmanpara Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Md Farooq Hossain confirmed the matter.

Police sources said a team went on an anti-drug drive near border pillar 2059 in Ashabari area under Shashidal Union at around 10:30 PM on Thursday. During the drive, officers in a CNG-run auto-rickshaw spotted a drug trader and chased him. Constable Rohit Dewan unknowingly crossed into Indian territory during the chase.

Local Indian residents detained him and handed him over to the BSF. When ASI Imran Hossain went to secure his colleague's release, BSF personnel detained him as well.

Senior officers from Bangladesh Police and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) contacted Indian authorities on Thursday night to secure their return.

OC Md Farooq Hossain said discussions to bring back the two officers began on Thursday night. Indian authorities handed them over to the Bangladeshi delegation at 1:50 PM on Friday in the presence of senior police and BGB officials.
