Our Correspondent, Benapole, Jessore
Members of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) rescued 10 people from Putkhali border yesterday morning while they were being trafficked to India. The victims, including a woman and a child, hailed from different areas in Faridpur and Narail districts. Acting on a tip-off, a BGB team raided the area and rescued the ten when they were being trafficked to India through the border, said Subedar Ayub Hossain, in-charge of Putkhali BGB Camp. However, no one was arrested as the human traffickers fled the scene sensing the presence of the border guards, he said.
