Assam Police and the Border Security Force (BSF) apprehended 25 people allegedly attempting to enter India illegally along the international border on the night of October 24 and sent them back to their place of origin, according to a statement shared by Assam Police.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also confirmed the operation in a post on X, stating that the 25 people had been apprehended while allegedly attempting to cross into India.
The operation formed part of ongoing efforts by security agencies to prevent unauthorised crossings along the international border. The BSF is primarily responsible for guarding India’s international borders, while state police assist in maintaining security within their jurisdiction.
