Agartala, May 7 (TIWN) A 35-year-old Bangladeshi woman and her two children have been arrested for entering India illegally, Tripura police said on Wednesday.
A police official said the woman and her four-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter entered Tripura from neighbouring Sylhet district (eastern Bangladesh) much before the lockdown began in India.
"Acting on a tip-off, we arrested them from a relative''s house at Gandhigram (in western Tripura). Following health protocols and other legal formalities, we are taking necessary steps," the official said.
