In a major crackdown, the Assam Police apprehended four Bangladeshi nationals, including a minor, from Dispur in Guwahati, exposing an alleged illegal entry network operating across the border.
Acting on credible intelligence, the Border Branch of the Police Commissionerate detained the individuals who had reportedly entered India without valid documents.
They have been detained at Dispur Police Station even as further legal procedures for their deportation to Bangladesh are being done.
During the investigation, police revealed that the group had crossed the border on April 10 in search of work after being lured by brokers and reached Guwahati on April 11.
In a significant breakthrough, one such broker, Md Akkash Ali, a taxi driver by profession, was also apprehended for facilitating their movement.
