The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) detained twelve Bangladeshis on Saturday from Maheshpur upazila of Jhenaidah district shortly after returning to Bangladesh from India without valid documents.

In a media statement, Maheshpur BGB battalion 58 said they detainees include five children, reports UNB.

“BGB members searched a passenger bus acting on a tip-off on Sonagari road around 6:40am and detained them,” a BGB official said.

Some of the detainees told BGB that they had gone to India for work at different times.

In November, BGB said it detained 260 Bangladeshis for crossing the border from India without valid travel documents.
