Bangladesh authorities have begun a search for a woman from Assam who was sent to the country in June, according to reports.
Bangladesh's law enforcement agencies have opened a formal search operation for a woman hailing from Assam, who was reportedly transferred to Bangladesh in June. The case came to light after the woman's family raised concerns about her whereabouts and lack of communication since her arrival.
The cross‑border movement underscores the need for close coordination between Indian and Bangladeshi authorities, especially in handling missing‑person cases that involve citizens of the two neighboring countries. Officials from both sides have been in contact to verify the woman's identity and the circumstances of her transfer.
Bangladeshi officials said they are canvassing the area where she was last seen and have appealed to the public for any information that could lead to her location. No further details about her age, occupation or the purpose of her travel have been disclosed.
The woman's relatives in Assam remain anxious, awaiting confirmation of her safety. Authorities have promised regular updates as the investigation progresses, emphasizing that the search will continue until she is found.
