According to a source in BDR 35 Rifles Battalion, a BSF team from Gongra camp in Nadia district of West Bengal picked up one Bangladeshi, identified as Babul Akter, 42, from main pillar no-95 of the border point at about 6:30 pm. Later, a BDR team from Hudapara outpost caught Mukti Ghosh, 36, of Chillamara in Nadia district. According to BDR, they nabbed the Indian when he was trying to enter Bangladesh territory through Hudapara border area without any legal document. BDR sent a letter to BSF protesting abduction of the Bangladeshi. They also informed the BSF about arrest of an Indian and asked for a flag meeting.
