Guwahati:

In a swift and decisive operation this morning, the Border Security Force or BSF successfully thwarted an infiltration attempt by a group of Bangladeshi nationals along the Indo-Bangladesh Border in Assam's South Salmara Mankachar district.

The incident occurred in the early hours when BSF personnel deployed at the International Border observed suspicious movement from the Bangladesh side. 

A group was approaching the border with apparent intentions to cross into Indian territory. Reacting promptly, the BSF troops challenged the group, preventing their unauthorised entry. 

Faced with resistance, the Bangladeshi group retreated without any further escalation.

This incident came amid unconfirmed reports of videos that emerged in social media that showed more than a dozen people standing near the Zero Line of the international border between India and Bangladesh, beyond the barbed wire fence.
