“There were no border fencing or identification marks demarcating the border where BGB jawans apprehended us as infiltrators and handed us over to Bangladesh police. Later, police produced us to a local court where a section of arms Act was slapped and accordingly the court sentenced us for 14 year rigorous imprisonment,” Satish told newspersons.
After completion of jail term they were released but the jail authority did not arrange their repatriation to India. They approached the Indian High Commission in Dhaka who helped them to get back home.
