Seven Bangladeshis and Trafficker Arrested in Tripura for Illegal Entry
Police in Tripura, India, caught seven people from Bangladesh who were in the country illegally.
An Indian man was also arrested for helping some of them cross the border, receiving money in return.

An Indian human trafficker was arrested for aiding four of the Bangladeshis.
