Tripura security police arrested five men accused of supporting unlawful border crossings by Bangladeshi and Rohingya nationals.
Tripura, with its 856-kilometer border with Bangladesh, has been a center for such illegal activity.
Tapas Das, a Government Railway Police (GRP) official, stated that the arrests came after the apprehension of illegal Bangladeshi nationals at Agartala Railway Station.
On January 5, five traffickers were caught at the Harihar Dola Market in Sepahijala District. The accused have been identified as Jayanta Das (30), Sameer Das (38), Jakir Hossain (35), Mobin Mia (34), and Gaur Chand Debnath (Sanu). They were found to be assisting Bangladeshi nationals in crossing the border illegally.
The GRP worked with the BSF, Tripura Police, and other agencies to effectively arrest two traffickers.
Investigations are ongoing as officials try to destroy the trafficking network, following their court presentation.
