Eight Bangladeshi Nationals Detained at Agartala Airport Amid Infiltration ProbePreviousNext

Tripura Police arrested eight Bangladeshi nationals at Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport in Agartala over two days, acting on intelligence about their suspected illegal entry and plans to travel to other states. The detainees, all adult males, were intercepted following surveillance operations and interrogations that revealed leads on a possible cross-border infiltration or human trafficking network. Authorities are investigating their entry routes, intended destinations, and any local facilitators involved, with some detainees remanded for further questioning.
