7 return from Indian jail

Seven Bangladeshi nationals, including five women and a child, returned home yesterday after languishing in an Indian jail for one and a half years. Indian Border Security Force (BSF) handed them over to Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) at Benapole check post. Nazrul Islam, commander of Benapole BGB camp, said the returnees entered Indian territory two years ago without valid documents through Jessore border. Later, Indian police arrested them from Kolkata in West Bengal. After filing a case, police produced them before an Indian court that sentenced them to one and half years for illegally crossing the border.
