Nearly 100 Bangladeshi Nationals Arrested in Guwahati Using Meghalaya Route Since April
Since April, nearly 100 Bangladeshi nationals have been arrested in Guwahati and surrounding areas for entering India via Meghalaya's Dawki route, often with the help of touts. Despite increased Border Security Force deployment along the India-Bangladesh border, many avoid the Assam border, using light motor vehicles to travel discreetly. Arrests occurred at hotels, railway platforms, and airports, but authorities believe actual numbers may be higher due to limited detection. Some detainees admitted to entering through Meghalaya rather than Assam's border.
