In a concerted effort to combat illegal infiltration from Bangladesh and the Rohingya community, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) of the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has successfully apprehended 256 Muslim infiltrators from Bangladesh and 18 Bharatiya agents during checking conducted across various railway stations from January to September 2024.
Over the last few years, it has been reported that Muslim infiltrators have been coming to Bharat illegally through the different borders of North-East states. And those Muslim infiltrators are spreading in different parts of the country through trains from different railway stations.
On the 21st of September, GRP and RPF during the routine checking, detained 11 Muslim infiltrators from Bangladesh at Agartala Railway Station. Upon interrogation, they couldn’t show any documents of Bharatiya citizenship. They also informed that they entered the country with the help of agents. They further said that they wanted to go to Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
The RPF has implemented various measures to monitor and prevent illegal infiltrators from Bangladesh at railway stations and on trains. Personnel deployed at these locations maintain vigilance to detect and report any illegal activities, reinforcing the railway’s commitment to safety and security.
In another operation, the Assam Police have also intensified surveillance along the Bharat-Bangladesh, apprehending four Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators near the international border. The individuals, identified as Md Jahangir, Nucadiya Bibi, Rumana, and Md. Hussain was promptly pushed back across the border, highlighting ongoing efforts to prevent illegal infiltration.
