Shillong: A joint team of police and BSF has nabbed two Bangladeshi nationals from near the Indo-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya’s East Jaintia Hills district, police said on Saturday.
Acting on a tip off that a group of Bangladeshi nationals were spotted in the jungle adjoining the unfenced international border near Pyrtakuna village on Friday, the police and BSF team launched an operation in the area and nabbed the two Bangladeshi nationals.
