Members of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) have detained 17 people, including women and children, from Moheshpur border of Jhenaidah while trying to cross the border to enter India.
They were held from Bagadanga, Kholashpur and Palianpur areas of Moheshpur upazila from Friday afternoon to Saturday noon, said a media release sent from the BGB-58 Battalion.
