Assam girl allegedly abducted by a Bangladeshi citizen

In what appears to be a case of love jihad, a Bangladeshi national is accused of kidnapping a girl from Assam's Silchar. 

Locals and family members worry that the accused may have travelled across the international border with the victim.

Earlier in December 2023, Tripura Police arrested a Bangladeshi woman who had crossed the international border after marrying a resident of Tripura in the neighbouring country.

Tripura shares an 856km long international boundary with Bangladesh.

The woman was apprehended in Kadamtala under the Dharmanagar Sub-division of Tripura’s North district.

Commenting on the incident, Sibu Ranjan Dey, Officer-in-Charge of Kadamtala Police Station, stated that Border Security Force (BSF) jawans and Tripura Police jointly detained Joli Rani Das (25), a Bangladeshi woman, for illegally entering Tripura from Bangladesh.
