Four suspected Bangladeshi militants nabbed in Assam
A top official of Assam police said that the suspected Bangladeshi militants had entered India crossing over Indo-Bangladesh border from Umkiyang area of Meghalaya side and hide at a rented house at Kaliganj area in Karimganj district.
"The militants have been trying to travel to Saudi Arabia and join ISIS. They managed to get forged passport with the help of a local person. But we caught them," the police official said.
The nabbed militants were allegedly involved in the terror attack in a Dhaka Cafe.
"We have already got in touch with the Bangladesh authorities and have shared information," the police official said.
An Assam police team, led by a DIG had rushed to Karimganj and started interrogation to collect more information.
After the Dhaka terror attack, the Bangladesh authorities informed that at least five militants have entered India from Meghalaya side and the Union Home ministry sounded a high alert along the Indo-Bangladesh border.
