The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) has pushed eight people into Bangladesh through the Chandshikari border in Bholahat upazila of Chapainawabganj in the early hours of Tuesday.


According to officials, the incident occurred around 4:30 am when BSF personnel forced the group, comprising four men and four women, across the border into Bangladeshi territory.

A patrol team from the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) stationed at the Chandshikari camp later detained the eight people.

Confirming the incident, 59 BGB Battalion Commander Lieutenant Colonel Golam Kibria said the detainees would be handed over to Bholahat police station following interrogation.

This incident follows a similar occurrence on May 27, when the BSF pushed 17 people into Bangladesh through the Bibishan border in Gomostapur upazila, reports UNB.
