Among the Bangladeshi infiltrators, four were minors and the rest two persons were married couples.
Another one, identified as Mohammad Hafizul, was a resident Nadia district of West Bengal.
The Bangladeshi couple, identified as Rubel Sheikh and Suraiya along with the minors were supposed to travel to Chennai where she (Suraiya) claimed her father stays for livelihood.
“All of them entered India through the South Tripura district. During interrogation, they said that they were from Khulna district of Bangladesh,” a GRP official said.
