Authorities in Meghalaya have arrested four individuals from Bangladesh on charges of illegal entry into India's northeastern region. The incident occurred in the South West Garo Hills district, highlighting ongoing border security challenges.
Border Security Force (BSF) personnel detected suspicious activity along the Indo-Bangladesh border on Tuesday night. They successfully apprehended the suspects near the international zero line, later verifying their nationalities during an initial investigation.
