BGB says it foiled 10 BSF push-in attempts along border in 24 hours

The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has said it
has foiled 10 separate attempts by India's Border Security Force (BSF) to push
individuals into Bangladesh through different borders in the past 24 hours till
6:00am on Thursday.
In a press release, the force said it remains on
highest alert, maintaining heightened intelligence surveillance and patrol
operations across the frontier to prevent any unauthorised entry.
According to the BGB, in Jhenaidah's Maheshpur
border area, patrol teams from BGB-58 stopped an attempt by 4-5 individuals to
enter Bangladesh illegally at Jadabpur, forcing them to retreat back into
Indian territory.
In another incident in the Samanta BOP area
under the same battalion, around 30-35 people were reportedly brought near the
border in a prison van by BSF with the intent of push-in. BGB said its patrol
teams, along with local residents, resisted the attempt, after which the
individuals were taken away.
In Jashore's Goga and Rudrapur border areas
under Khulna BGB-21, several men and women were seen gathered near the frontier
for alleged push-in attempts, but were later removed following BGB
intervention.
BGB-20 in Joypurhat said intelligence suggested
that around 10 people were assembled inside Indian territory near the Koya and
Basudebpur borders in preparation for push-in attempts, which were later foiled
due to heightened vigilance.
In Chapainawabganj, BGB-53 said intelligence and
social media reports indicated that four Muslim individuals excluded from
India's Special Intensive Revision list were being held at three centres
near BSF camps in an alleged attempt to push them into Bangladesh. BGB said it
has increased surveillance in the area.
BGB-50 in Thakurgaon reported that BSF's
Kakramani camp detained two Bangladeshi nationals, but no formal communication
has yet been made with BGB regarding the matter.
In Panchagarh, BGB-18 said one individual
allegedly pushed into Bangladesh by BSF through the Rowshanpur area was
initially detained by locals and later sent back into Indian territory after
verification.
BGB-59 in Chapainawabganj said 22 detainees held
at a centre in India's Malda district were reportedly handed over to BSF for
possible push-in attempts, prompting increased monitoring by BGB.
In Sylhet, BGB-48 said locals detained two
suspicious individuals at Utmachhara border, who were later identified as
Indian nationals and pushed back following due procedure.
In Netrokona, BGB-31 said 15-20 individuals were
reportedly gathered at a school in Assam's Mahadeb police station area for
alleged push-in attempts, taking advantage of a stretch of unfenced border
area. The battalion said it remains on maximum alert.
BGB reiterated that no illegal entry into
Bangladesh through the border will be allowed under any circumstances and said
it will firmly resist any violation of international border laws and bilateral
agreements.
The force also said intelligence monitoring,
patrols and operational activities have been further intensified to safeguard
national sovereignty and border security.
