Nineteen more people, including women and children, were pushed into Bangladesh allegedly by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) through the Khagrachhari border early Monday morning, reports UNB.
These people reportedly went to India's Haryana State in search of jobs earlier.
However, local enforcers detained them and brought them to South Tripura to push them through the Mahalchhari border of Khagrachhari.
The BSF members pushed them around 3:30 am through the Feni River while Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) took them under their custody and kept them at a local government primary school.
Matiranga Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Manjurul Alam said they were verifying the identities of the detainees, and they will be sent to their respective areas after confirmation of their identities.
With these, the BSF has so far pushed 104 people into the country in the current month through the borders in Khagrachari.
