BSF Foils Smuggling Attempt Along India-Bangladesh Border
The Border Security Force (BSF) in Tripura stopped some smugglers from illegally taking things across the border into Bangladesh.
They caught five people and found goods worth a lot of money, including twelve cows and some new phones.
The smugglers were trying to use areas where the border is easy to cross to move these items.
The BSF is working hard to stop this illegal activity, which often happens at night and involves valuable things.
Because of the difficult terrain, it is not easy to keep everything under surveillance.
BSF foiled a smuggling attempt along the India-Bangladesh border in Tripura.
Five suspects were arrested, and contraband worth over 20 lakh was seized.
Twelve cattle were rescued near the Dholakcheri Border Outpost.
47 new mobile phones were seized at the Nirbhoypur Border Outpost.
The smugglers were attempting to transport goods into Bangladesh.
