Tripura Man kidnapped in Bangladesh rescued by forces

AGARTALA: In a joint effort, the Border Security Force (BSF) of India and the Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB) facilitated the rescue of a man from Tripura who was allegedly abducted in Bangladesh.

According to sources, the man identified as Challa Fur Mog, was allegedly abducted in Bangladesh.

The incident led to a flag meeting held on Thursday in the Belonia Sub-division of South Tripura District.

Mog, who had visited Bangladesh with a proper passport and visa, was reportedly abducted by Bangladeshi miscreants.

His wife, Swapna Mog, approached the BSF outpost in Belonia on the morning of September 19, raising concerns about her husband’s whereabouts.

She reported that her husband had travelled to Bangladesh on September 13 to visit relatives, but while returning, he was kidnapped by a group of miscreants demanding a ransom of Rs 1 lakh.

In response to her appeal, the BSF promptly contacted their Bangladeshi counterparts. A Company Commander-level flag meeting between BSF and BGB was organized at 11:30 AM between the Belonia and Majumdar outposts.

The BGB assured that once all necessary formalities were completed, Mog, who is currently in police custody in Chattogram, would be handed over to Indian authorities.
