In a significant development, security forces in Tripura’s Sabroom area have apprehended five individuals, including two Bangladeshi nationals, for illegally crossing the international border. According to police, the Border Security Force (BSF) personnel noticed the group attempting to cross into India at Jalkumba village, leading to their arrest.
