Two Indian Farmers Taken to Bangladesh Return After Border Security Talks
Two Indian farmers from West Bengal were taken across the border into Bangladesh by villagers in response to the detention of a Bangladeshi farmer by India's Border Security Force (BSF). The farmers were held by Bangladesh's Border Guard (BGB) but were returned following a flag meeting between BSF and BGB officials. Reports vary on the farmers' names, and both farmers stated they were not physically harmed during their custody. The incident highlights ongoing border tensions and was resolved diplomatically.
