, Oct. 7 -- Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) on Tuesday foiled an attempt by the Border Security Force (BSF) of India to push seven people into Bangladesh through Malkadanga border in Boda upazila of Panchagarh.

The group, comprising six men and a woman, eventually returned to Indian territory through the same border point that night after facing resistance from the BGB.

According to BGB sources, the seven were spotted near Malkadanga border area while attempting to enter Bangladesh on Tuesday morning.

BGB personnel deployed there intercepted them and prevented their entry.

The group subsequently remained near the border throughout the day.
