Guwahati: The Border Security Force (BSF) has said that they have handed over a Bangladeshi national to the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) after he unintentionally crossed the international border and reached South Garo Hills in Meghalaya.
The BSF Meghalaya shared a tweet on X where they wrote, “43 Battalion BSF Meghalaya handed over a Bangladeshi national, found mentally unstable, to Border Guard Bangladesh. The individual crossed the international boundary and entered Indian territory in South Garo Hills on June 10, 2023, as a goodwill gesture.”
