The group included two men, two women, and three children, who had been residing in Bangalore for an extended period since illegally entering India for work purposes in 2020.

The arrests were made when the Humsafar Express train arrived in Dharmanagar on Monday, and the police acted swiftly to detain the Bangladeshi nationals from Rajbari area. Among those taken into custody were Karta Mohammad Liton Sheikh and his wife Fatema Begum, hailing from Bangladesh’s Ratodanga region.
