Eight Bangladeshi nationals, including two women and two Indian touts were arrested by Government Railway Police (GRP) personnel at the Agartala Railway Station in Tripura yesterday. The Bangladeshi nationals had entered Tripura illegally through a clandestine route. All the arrested infiltrators are aged between 19 to 38. They will be produced in court today.

Over the last two-and-a-half months, more than 165 Bangladeshi nationals and 32 Rohingyas were arrested by the GRP, BSF, and Tripura Police from the Agartala railway station and various other places in Tripura after they illegally entered India.
