A Bangladeshi woman held in Assam’s Dhubri told authorities that 16 people illegally entered Bharat from the neighbouring country. Her explosive confession comes at a time when border security is at its peak amid the recent unrest in Bangladesh.
The woman was held by Dhubri Police, as per reports on Monday, from Jogmaya ghat in the district’s Boro Bazar area. However, what she told officials afterwards left everyone shocked.
The woman confessed before the police that as many as 16 Bangladeshi nationals have entered Dhubri. She said that the group took the water route to Bharat and mentioned the hand of two middlemen – Halim and Ali – in getting them here.
According to her, they would be taken to Tamil Nadu from Assam, where they would be settled. Meanwhile, based on her confession, the police have now launched an operation to locate the remaining group members and apprehend the two middlemen.
