Members of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) on Wednesday arrested 44 people including eight Bangladeshis from different bordering areas in Roumari and Bhurangamari upazilas of Kurigram district early Wednesday.


Lutfur Rahman, officer-in-charge of Roumari Police Station, said 30 people were pushed into Bangladesh from India through various border points in Roumari upazila and it is believed that 22 of them were Rohingya.

However, BGB is verifying the identities of those detained.

Local people found them roaming in different areas of the bordering areas and informed the BGB.

Commanding officer of BGB-22, Lieutenant Colonel Mohammad Mahbub Ul Haque, said 14 people including eight women and children were arrested from Bhawalkuri border in Bhurungamari upazila of the district, reports UNB.

All of them were Rohingyas, he said.

The identities of the remaining individuals are being verified, said BGB.
