Three Indians crash into Bangladesh territory, held
December 27th, 2011 - 11:14 pm ICT by IANSAgartala, Dec 27 (IANS) In a bizarre accident, three Indian men in a speeding car crashed into a checkpost on Bangladesh border, Tripura Police said here Tuesday. They were arrested by Bangladeshi police for entering the territory illegally.
“Bimal Debbarma, Sushanta Debbarma and Amarjit Debbarma - all aged between 26-29 years and engineers - under the influence of alcohol, shortly past midnight Monday, decided to visit Bangladesh through Akhaurah checkpost, near here,” a police spokesman said.
The police official said that the Indian trio took the Border Security Force (BSF) troopers, who were posted at the checkpost, by surprise when they whizzed past and wrecked a barricade before entering into Bangladesh territory.
Quoting BSF sources, police said the Bangladeshi police Tuesday presented the men, one of them a Tripura government employee, at a local court in Akhaurah in Bangladesh and the court sent them to judicial custody for 14 days.
Surrounded by international borders on almost all sides, Tripura shares 856 km border with Bangladesh.
