In a significant development, the police in West Tripura's Hapania area apprehended thirteen nationals from Bangladesh, including two women, on suspicions of unlawful entry across the border.

Acting on insider information, law enforcement conducted a nocturnal raid on a rented space near Tripura Medical College and Hospital, uncovering undocumented individuals.

The group initially claimed residency in Tripura's Gandacherra subdivision for medical purposes. However, lacking valid documents, authorities discovered evidence confirming their Bangladeshi origin during the subsequent interrogation, unveiling ties to the Chakma and Mog communities.
