Police and immigration officials detained ten Bangladeshi nationals during a coordinated operation at New Bongaigaon railway station in Assam.
Assam police, together with immigration officials, carried out a joint operation at New Bongaigaon railway station, resulting in the detention of ten Bangladeshi nationals. The authorities said the operation was part of ongoing efforts to curb illegal cross‑border movement in the state. The detainees are being held for further verification and will be handed over to the relevant immigration and law‑enforcement agencies for legal processing. No injuries were reported, and the railway station resumed normal operations shortly after the raid.
The joint raid underscores the heightened vigilance along Assam's borders, where authorities frequently conduct surprise checks at transport hubs to intercept undocumented entrants. Officials declined to disclose the exact time of the operation or the specific charges that may be filed against the individuals.
Further details are expected as the investigation proceeds, including the legal status of the detained persons and any possible links to broader illegal migration networks.
