Members of the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) have detained a Bangladeshi man after he crossed the Beurjhari border in Thakurgaon's Baliadangi upazila on Tuesday night.

The detainee, Md Alimul Rahman, 42, son of D. Rahman from Khulna, is mentally unstable. Lt Col Tanzir Ahmed, commander of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), said that Alimul was detained and taken to India by the BSF after he trespassed on the border on Tuesday night.

"Efforts are being made to bring him (Alimul) back to Bangladesh," he added. The Bangladeshi national is expected to be returned to the country on Wednesday evening following a flag meeting, according to a BGB official.
