Tripura State Rifles (TSR) troopers have arrested a Bangladesh national with three lakh taka (Bangladesh currency) and two mobile phones, police said here Monday.
Police are yet to ascertain the motive of Nunakashi Chakma, 28, for entering Indian territory with the large sum of cash. “During a routine operation by the TSR jawans, Chakma was arrested from bordering Raishyabari village (195 km from here in northern Tripura) Sunday night,” a police spokesman said.
The illegal entrant is a resident of Ghagracherri village in the mountainous Chittagong Hill Tracts in southeast Bangladesh. Senior police and intelligence officials were interrogating the tribal youth. India has stepped up security along the border with Bangladesh in view of the political turmoil in that country.
