Assam Police and Border Security Force (BSF) detained and pushed back 51 suspected Bangladeshi infiltrators near the Sribhumi border in Karimganj district within three days, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced on Tuesday (26 August), reported Hindustan Times.

Security personnel caught 30 infiltrators on Sunday (24 August ) and 21 more on Tuesday (26 August) near the international border.

Sarma posted on X: “In two separate instances, we PUSHED BACK 21 illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators from the Sribhumi sector, further bolstering our anti-infiltration efforts.”

He asserted that the crackdown would continue: “HIT where it hurts the most, send them back to their host. These drives WILL CONTINUE UNABATED.”

On Sunday, the Assam Police had detained 36 Bangladeshi nationals, who were later pushed back. Of them, 30 were caught in Sribhumi, while six others — including two children — were detained in South Salmara Mankachar district.

Sharing details on Monday, Sarma wrote: “Alert eyes, swift action. 36 illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators have been pushed back to Bangladesh from Sribhumi and South Salmara.”
