Eleven Bangladeshi nationals and three touts from India were arrested on Saturday at Agartala Railway Station in Tripura attempting to enter India, officials said.

Eleven individuals were arrested by the Government Railway Police (GRP) including seven who come from the Khagrachari district and four women from the Narail district. Two of the touts are from Tripura and one hails from Assam. Police officials confirmed that all of them were attempting to travel to Ahmedabad and Chennai by changing multiple trains. Officials confirmed that the three Indians were helping the Bangladeshis to enter India.

Speaking to the media, an official stated, “A Bangladeshi from the group confessed that they wanted to go to Ahmedabad by train looking for jobs.”

Police have also seized smartphones, money and several documents.

In a similar crackdown, the Border Security Force (BSF) thwarted three Bangladeshis from Tripura’s Unakoti district as they attempted to cross the Indo-Bangla International border.

In the past three months, Police officials have caught many individuals attempting to illegally enter the country amid major political developments and unrest in Bangladesh. More than 355 Bangladeshi and 41 Rohingyas were held by GRP and BSF.

To prevent further illegal infiltrations, the BSF has brought a multi-pronged strategy with increased vigilance along the India-Bangladesh border and complete coordination with Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB)

The Congress party on Wednesday alleged that Dalits are facing their worst period under the BJP government, with atrocities against the community having reached a peak, and pointed to a recent incident in Uttar Pradesh's Bhadohi district as fresh evidence of the worsening situation. Addressing a press conference in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee president Ajay Rai said crimes against Dalits had risen sharply under the Yogi Adityanath government. "Two days ago, an attempt was made to set Jaslal Saroj ablaze in Bhadohi. The state government wants to eliminate not poverty but the poor, but the Congress is committed to the security of Dalits," he said. Congress Leaders Raise Wider Concerns Rajendra Pal Gautam, chairman of the All India Congress Committee Scheduled Castes Department, spoke about the broader failures he attributed to the current dispensation. He said millions had sacrificed their lives for India's independence but had never imagined an India where children are forced to abandon their studies due to poverty and people die for lack of medical treatment. He also raised the question of India's foreign policy independence, asking why the country should need to seek permission from the United States to purchase oil. Manoj Yadav, chairman of the Uttar Pradesh Congress OBC Department, said the fight for social justice initiated by Kanshi Ram was now being carried forward by Rahul Gandhi. Grand Event Planned for Kanshi Ram's Birth Anniversary Anil Jai Hind, chairman of the All India Congress Committee Backward Classes Department, announced that the Congress would observe Kanshi Ram's birth anniversary on March 13 as Social Change Day. "A grand event will be organised on March 13 to carry forward his ideas and build the India of his dreams," he said. Congress leaders confirmed that Rahul Gandhi will attend the Samajik Parivartan Diwas programme dedicated to Kanshi Ram on March 13. The event is being positioned by the party as a demonstration of its commitment to Dalit and backward class communities ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
