Agartala: The Border Security Force (BSF) on Thursday said the two Bangladesh police personnel who had entered the Indian territory through Jatrapur village in West Tripura district have been handed over to Bangladesh Rifles (BDR).
BSF DIG A K Singh said, "They were employed in the motor transport wing of Bangladesh police and posted in Dhaka. They had come to see some relatives in a border village of Comilla district and entered Indian territory by mistake on Tuesday morning".
They were released on Thursday itself as nothing mischievous was found, he said.
Asked whether two Indian farmers abducted by Bangladeshi villagers on the same day from neighbouring Nirbhaypur village was an act of retaliation, Singh said a flag meeting would be held between BSF and BDR at Srimantapur Border Outpost (BOP) this afternoon and the farmers would be
handed over to BSF.
